I have tried to compile the source for ARM myself, over a year ago but failed, probably because of a lack of knowledge, so I am hoping someone else might have succeeded.

I don't see how this would work with Maemo at all.

All applications run full-screen under Maemo, and the desktops are purely for widgets/shortcuts. They're nothing like the virtual desktops used by most desktop Linux distributions, so there's nothing Devils Pie can do.
