It sounds like you and I mostly agree that desktops should leverage immersion. You make a very good point that a quality workspace is a key part of the puzzle.
I personally would prefer a large, high-density monitor. I like that peers and family can still interact with the same output that I am. But I also find a wearable display to be interesting.
As I hinted at earlier, Leap Motion would go extremely well with a large, high-density monitor. I'd love that level of immersion. It's getting closer to Minority Report / Avatar. I especially find the Avatar-like UI model very appealing. For us to get there, we'd also need an application/UI model that I call PAO (which is separate rant).
Finally, I totally agree that the UI libraries need an injection of new thinking.
