You  need desktop for Unix (Linux) to be adopted by simple users.
Also GUI makes life much easier even for advanced users.
I don't want to deal command lines/config files for mundane
things like finding and setting up wireless networks, playing
CDs/DVDs, etc. GUI integrated with desktop would make this
much less time consuming.

not really enough.

Unfortunately open source is pretty much a failure when it comes to GUI and
desktop. Any kind of GUI, look at ddd for example. Untested 
development-stage
software (like kde4) is being released to the public for some reason.
