I must be missing a point. What has JavaVM complexity to do with security of Java Desktop? It's just a SuSE+GNOME with J2RE pre-installed (with Gtk look and feel). The 'Java' part of the name is just a business buzzword. One may use Java Desktop every day withnout running a byte of Java bytecode. This all of course does not mean, that the Java Desktop is secure. It just means, that since it is not written in Java, it may be user friendly :).
