My understanding from the responses to when I asked this question back
in October was that metacity is only the window manager when the system
doesn't have the hardware to run compiz (or you've specifically disabled
compiz).

See:

 	http://openindiana.org/pipermail/openindiana-discuss/2013-October/014003.html

and the follow-up responses.

Using the information provided by Jonathan & Alan in that thread, I was
able to set my oi151a8 to have 8 workspaces, since it was indeed compiz that's
being used on my hardware.

I'm still haven't figured out how to *name* the workspaces, but at least
I have the number that I want.
