This I think is a great idea. Would need to be multiple instance capable f course so we could have one on each desktop.

Should be easy to implement with modified-hildon-desktop and some existing widget for executing commands. The command to switch desktop view is:
gconftool -s /apps/osso/hildon-desktop/views/current -t int 5
(where 5 can be replaced by any view number).
gconftool -s /apps/osso/hildon-desktop/views/current -t int 5
(where 5 can be replaced by any view number).

It's a good idea. I have noticed that max desktops for me is 3 because after that's it's just faster to use main menu, but this could change that.
Best of all would be if the widget would be rather big and you could use pictures for the buttons that change the desktop. Example picture of the desktop or album to show that the desktop is about music.
Even better could be if the widget would take picture of the desktop last time you visited it. Like browsers bookmark thumbnails in browser, but i'm not sure if it would work in real life.

Like the idea 
Could the widget be locked so it doesn't move with he desktops underneath, so it always stays in one place. Yes it might lay over some other shortcut or widget, but if you're gonna have it on each desktop anyway that should easiely be solved by the the 'free space' of the widget that should have been there

This was also an idea, so we don't waste desktop space. But having this in the "bar" might act nasty if not properly implemented with portrait mode apps like opera or the phone.
So could this be done in a limited way for the desktop only?

Or a more dull variant:
Besides allowing the user to quickly jump to any of the four desktops maybe a hack could be added to ease the process of adding even more desktops for those who wish it.
