I think all the icons were trying to occupy the same space. That's what it looked like.
After much panic I realised I could stop the rebooting by plugging in the USB in mass storage mode. Then I SSH'd in and modified the file that Tweakr modifies, and set the two settings back from 0 and 1. (sorry, can't check the filename or settings - in a hurry).
Anyway, that sorted it.

I have this same problem. Any chance somebody could talk me through SSH'ing in??

DM, the problem here could be the lack of an ssh server on your N900. You would need to install one if not (which may or may not be possible owing to your current situation). Once installed then you can ssh in using a pc program called putty (anything else is a waste ).

I'd say it's not possible given I can't even reach the desktop!

Looks like it's Maemo Flasher!

Lol just after I posted this my N900 went into reboot loop (I added a widget) I can ssh in but am not sure of the files that tweakr changes. Ahh well been looking for an excuse to flash anyway

For those that dont want to flash the file is /usr/share/hildon-desktop/transitions.ini

Edit the line snap_grid_size=0, change that to 16

The 51 update also updated the firmware for the phone chipset. This prevent earlier versions from talking to the phone hardware (including the SIM). You should be able to update OTA using WLAN (which is what I had to do) or alternately use flasher instead of NSU (http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware).

Ah, trying 51.1 now via WLAN. Didn't want to go through that pain in case I had to start again!

Cheers for the help!!

For me, editing /usr/share/hildon-desktop/transitions.ini and remarking out the following lines at the end stopped the reboot loop and after a manual reboot the desktop also returned to normal:
# Edit mode configuration
#[edit_mode]
#snap_grid_size=0
# Set to 0 if snap to grid should be only happen when widget is released
# snap_to_grid_while_move=1


Hooray for sshd and vi!

I only installed tweakr, opened the tweakr panel, didn't change any settings, closed the panel, and got stuck in the reboot loop. (on PR1.1)

as i mentioned before: it seems like tweakr sets the line to 0 (null) if "no" is chosen in the settings.
before the update this was set to 1 and after the update to 4 by default.
so 0 (null) is not allowed as grid_size. that's why you stuck in reboot-loop.
