(Linux Mint) Cinnamon Set Workspace Names

In Cinnamon 1.6, workspaces in the expo can have custom names applied. However, these names are not carried through to the window right click menu (Move to another workspace ->).

Workspace names in the right click menu are set by the workspace-names key in org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences.

For example:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences workspace-names "['Entertainment', 'Projects', 'Programming', 'Learning', 'Homework']" 

(Sadly, these names do synchronize with the expo names, so you'll have to set everything twice.)
