It must be because it must be finger usable and most of desktop UI paradigm is based 
on mouse use.

We should not mix two things. Maemo 6 widgets are based on new QGraphiscview based
widget set and that's different than Maemo 5 widget set that is based on enhaged Qt desktop widget set.

You can see video of Maemo 5 widgets here. Only bad thing in this video is that they are
using stylus, i have not used mine with N900 in many months because it is not needed
with finger optimized widgets.
