FWIW I think this is pretty cool. The main docker use-case is not desktop software, and some of it's choices are unlikely to suit that use-case well.

So, good to see a project look at that aspect. I would quite like to be able to run all my apps which access untrusted services (e.g. all browsers) in a container which I can easily wipe/reset.

You are correct that Docker has some server centric designs. But luckly, the Docker project has split of runc (Docker's container runtime) and since images are just bare directory trees, there is really no claustrophobia about Docker being a bad choice...
