Still arranged in a cycle.

To install, see my signature.

Of course you can add more desktops its open source for crying out loud you can do what ever you want.

But could i say that the N900 is NOT an iPhone its much much more and rather than copying the ideas of iPhone and continuously comparing it to the iPhone that people should come up with more constructive ideas on how to improve it and make this great peace of engineering with a fantastic open source Linux OS do a lot more that iPhone could only dream of...

I'm agree, but i think that have more desktops does not mean be like iPhone... it's totaly different: more desktops because there are a lot of widget, so...

In iPhone is not possible put what you want on desktop... :-)

uninstall the modded desktop or make:
Code:
gconftool -s  /apps/osso/hildon-desktop/views/active -t list --list-type int [1,2,3,4]

I had no idea that iPhones have multiple desktops; you are assuming that the idea of having more desktops is lust for emulating iPhones! Having lots of desktops is fun, and so is having lots of backgrounds is even funner. How do you know about what iPhone is doing? Why do you care?

"to beat your enemy you have to know your enemy"

Touche, I guess, but I think that the N900 has enough of a dynamic going that constantly saying that it should or shouldn't emulate the iPhone has become passe. The N900 is like the N900 and should emulate the N900. I think you actually agree with that.

BTW, wasn't it Pogo that said something like, "we have become the enemy and he is us"? If not, he should have.

Maybe you could add a section in your repository so that we can tell what OS version your current Modified Hildon-Desktop is based on?

Thanks for a great mod!
