Ah, thanks for the explanation. I didn't think of it working that way. For some reason I assumed the widgets would move at "finger speed" (them being the things that look like they are closest to the finger) with the wallpaper lagging behind in the distance.
So who can guess how we solved this?
It's remarkably simple.

I think you should play with the Compiz Fusion cube on a linux desktop (Sabayon live-cd is a good choice) to give you some idea. The expo plugin might be useful as well. While it is possible to use different wallpapers with Compiz this is disable by default because it is quite unstable (last I checked)
EDIT: Unfold is probably a closer match

Looking forward to get my hands on the device internals to develop these kind of usability and productivity tricks 3D-accelerated.

just need to find some that loop (meaning that the extreme left corner continues the theme of the extreme right corner)...

Guys - remember that the N900 screen is 267 PPI/DPI, so for the best results, make sure you have you DPI set to 250+ when making your wallpapers
