I'm not so sure about all'a'dat (although I do remember thinking the stuff in Minority Report was awesome, years ago) but I can see a need for 3D/depth augmentation of standard desktop interfaces. I want to be able to tuck windows away 'in the distance' or twist them round to a slanted pane (so they take up a fraction of the space but are still more or less visible/legible). I also want to step in and out of '3D mode' when making ER diagrams or UML diagrams and such, for when there's too many criss-crossing lines. Undoubtedly these things have already been tried (I saw a nice Linux demo somewhere, years ago, with 3D windows) but I'd like them standardized, and touch-operated. It'd make a big difference IMO. Periodically when using a cluttered interface I mutter 'this is why the need for 3D is so great' and my colleagues laugh at me. But I'm only half joking.
