I am using GNOME with Compiz. I have Workspace Switcher 2.26.0 on my
lower panel. Some experiments here have shown that (for me at least) the
limit is 15 columns and 15 rows. It worked fine, though with the Compiz
rotating cube seems to only show the topmost row, the displayed switcher
windows are impossibly tiny, and the "Move to another workspace" title
bar option gets a bit hairy :-)

If there is a limit of 7 in that preferences dialogue, then it is
different for the OP's system than mine, because the limit for me is 15.
That indicates that it is probably a resources limitation - RAM or
screen space or something.
