I agree that this is a very interesting idea, but at present it's also a
pretty serious research project.  It potentially involves Xephyr and some
crazy Sugar window management hackery.  Meanwhile, the dual-desktop
approach is /already working/.   I'm just trying to get someone to tell me
/how/ it's working, so that I can smush it into a build.

Also, on a memory-constrained system, running only one desktop environment
at a time may prove to be an important design choice.
