I am very happy about my 9 desktops.
But I would like to scroll up and down and not only left and right.
I want my deskop to be a torus.
When I'm scrolling up the desktop of 3*left should appear and when I'scrolling down the desktop of 3*right should appear.

Getting 9 screens is easy enough once you can find the instructions. Just install Matan's modified hildon home and enter this code in terminal (as root):
gconftool -s /apps/osso/hildon-desktop/views/active -t list --list-type int [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]
See more instructions in this link (seems overly complicated but at least you get some pictures of some really hot desktops).

Also I seem to remember the maker of Desktop + this week posting where to find the app now. Don't know which thread it was, maybe search for the Desktop + thread.

Desktop+ has been re-released by its developper, look for the official thread on this site.
But I have an issue, now that I have my 9 screens, from time to time a lot of my widgets will stop responding to touch. Meaning I could click on them and nothing at all would happen. I have tried a "killall hildon-home" but that just removes most widgets from my desktops. I am forced to restart all the time. I wanted to know, is the command killall hildon-home the equivalent of ending task Explorer.exe on a Windows system?

Also, for those who can't change background and/or are lazy like me, just assign whatever wallpaper you want on desktop1, then open a file manager app (I use CuteExplorer since by default it will open home/user and you just have to click on Show Hidden), copy the background-1.png file, paste it, and rename it to 6 or wtv desktop you want that wallpaper on 
easy
easy

so...Nobody else is having problems with their 9 homescreens? I also have to reassign at least half my widgets at every restart 
Do you think it's actually one of my app that is causing the issue? I haven't really installed much since I tweaked hildon-home/desktop

Why? For me, fewer is better. I have three now, seems OK, but two would be even better.

Nevertheless, I made a set of 9 simple black background .pngs, each with a small grid on the top right corner indicating which screen of the 3x3 you are in, mainly to provide an idea on which way to swipe to get to where you are going to. It's not that useful now, but I'll keep dreaming
Note: The background does not belong to me. I got it from this forum thread, so thanks to iceman600 for sharing it.
