I like your idea, but would suggest something more controversial:

	- Remove the desktop icons (and the virtual root window). 
	- Put important stuff in a menu instead.

Because:

        - The desktop it slow and flickery
        - Icons gets covered by windows
        - Would end the $HOME as desktop (or not) discussion
        - Would simplify the new file selector (1 root, not 2)
        
The menu could contain stuff like: $HOME, /, user-mountable file
systems, removeable media, browsable devices (like cameras etc), SMB
network...
