"This is where server/compositor/window manager and panels/docks/desktop are all in a single process."

This sounds like gnome-shell, and it's atrocious. It's unresponsive and laggy under any sort of load, even the mouse cursor skips around

From "Seven Laws of Sane Personal Computing":

I – Obeys operator

The operator shall retain full control of the machine at all times. In particular, the handling of the keyboard, mouse, and other human interface devices must take absolute priority over all other processing. The operator shall have the ability to issue commands and receive immediate confirmation of said commands at all times, regardless of system load.

Off-topic: It's sad how far away we are from sane personal computing (if I may use these laws as a definition of that term).

I am not close to the Gnome community, so could somebody aware of the context tell us how serious/realistic/close-term this ideas page is?

It's serious, but it's only a proposal, very a recent (~10 days old) one at that, so there's no code yet.
