I browsed the repository and noted that I am listed as the original code
in the metadata.json. The code I've mailed is a slightly modified paste
of Thomas Bouffon's extension, so could you please credit him instead of
me? :)

Thanks very much for taking the effort to modify it and port it to
GSetting, I'll try it as soon as I can. The extensions repo is a great
idea, so is your work on it :)

Does your version work in the new "workspace thumbnail" Shell. My
version failed due to auto management of workspaces. Let's say that I
have only one workspace, and I want Rhythmbox on the third. I call the
add_workspace_by_index twice, but the second added workspace is deleted
because it is empty. Right now I am "pinning" the first four workspace,
so they don't get deleted, but it is a ugly hack.
