I improved my N900 multitasking using 2 small modifications:

Now I have a fast possibility to switch between 2 applications simply by pressing the camera button twice.
Interesting. This doesn't work for me. When I hit Ctrl-Bksp once, it opens the multi-windowed view. Hitting Ctrl-Bksp again does nothing.

I do have Shortcutd installed. When I push half down on the camera button, I get to what I am calling the multiwindowed view. When I do it again, nothing happens -- in other words, the same thing that when I hit Ctrl-Bksp happens.

In Shortcutd I have Use the camera button checked and Camera focus short press action as Dashboard. Dashboard is the same thing I am calling multiwindowed view.
