Without compiz activated, you can modify it. It's a GNOME setting (not 
purely compiz).
Then, when compiz is activated, you have virtual desktop inside the 
workspace (wich is somehow a virtual thing...).
I noticed that because I use the Cube, and in fact, I have one cube per 
workspace....

On my laptop, it's used as the "super" key, in the "super + E" for the 
Expose.
