It's not completely obvious. What you have to do in Spaces is to position your cursor to the upper right of the screen, after which faint + (plus) sign appears in that area. Click that, upon which another Desktop will appear.

The + may be difficult or impossible to see with some desktop backgrounds (black, for instance):
