Just before reading your email I finished some work. I wrote an image 
editing tutorial (http://howto.nicubunu.ro/gimp-grid/ if you wonder) so 
I needed:
- the image editor, to capture the screenshots;
- the file manager, to move around and upload images and other files;
- the text editor to write the tutorial and html code;
- the web browser to check my progress and results.
All of them while:
- using the IRC window to chat with the person who asked for the tutorial;
- keeping an eye on the email for important business priorities;
- get some important *personal* updated from a family member over IM.

Please help me understand how a 3D game-like interface would make my 
work easier in such a scenario.

If your answer is: make a work-related room with all work apps on the 
walls or make a room for each possible work scenario, then you are back 
at your initial problem, long lists.

Your concept is more suited for something like a game console or a home 
media player, not for a general purpose desktop system.
