I want to be able to have 9 homescreens instead of just four

I know its possible as i've seen both youtube videos and read tutorials

But I can't get it working using xterminal

So I was asking if anyone knew of a way I could get 9 home screens without using xterminal

instead of giving up on the solution that has worked for many.. it's probably more useful to troubleshoot why it's not working for you.

You need to install a modified hildon desktop and you'll need to edit the gconf files. There's no GUI for this, as the Nokia released hildon is hard coded to 4 desktops in my understanding.

If you're getting errors.. you are better off posting the errors so people can help you troubleshoot rather than wanting an alternate method that nobody else has needed.

what he is looking is an application that would do the magic by modifying all the necessary files. reboot and magically he will have 9 home screen.

There is no such application exists yet, unless someone wants to create one :).

Good catch.. and yes "root" will do the same thing.
