You should never need to; the Shell simply always behaves so there's
exactly one empty workspace. So when you start a session you have one
workspace. As soon as you run something it goes into that workspace and
you get a second empty workspace. As soon as you put any app into that
empty workspace, a new empty workspace is created. If you remove
everything from any workspace, it will disappear, so there's still only
one empty workspace at the bottom of the list. So, there's never any
need to manually add a new workspace. Pretty neat system.
