Its all 'the centered' desktop with one 'left', and one 'right'. So swipe away. Although each desktop is somehow unique.

In that regard, maybe make 4 versions of 'maemo.org' logo, each in a different way, with secondary artwork mixing with each other. Because the user will never see the (IMO beautiful) artwork at a whole.

I get some of what you are saying and have to wait until I have a n900 i my hands to really see how it works. I have looked at it with my n810 in Tear and scrolled it left to right from there. It works quite nice I think. I understand you dont see the whole thing ever at once but I think thats kind of the point and gives a cool effect. Each desktop gets its own unique quite abstract look but as you sweep thorugh 3-4 desktops it reveals the maemo.org logo. Its all personal prefs I suppose.. but as said I really need to test this out for real to see how it works. I think there is some quite cool creative possibilities with this pano bacgrounds..
