Looking Glass 2 is a stand-alone application and it is not integrated to X or Gnome, therefore is not of much use for most people right now. Yes, it has its own window manager, and desktop space, but not being able to use the Gnome desktop instead of its own is not good, as Looking Glass is not much of a DE regarding usability, it is just a preliminary cool-looking demo, a proof of concept if you must.
There is quite a way and work to be done to have this properly setuped and get it integrated to X. But as a proof of concept, this demo does show that it CAN be done and Sun DOES have the capabilities to do it.
All they need, is a kick in the butt to do the job properly and integrate it to XFree.
