What's the point?
Rust adds some security over naively written C/C++, but the desktop environment isn't where security exploits are focused - because in most cases the person running the desktop environment in Linux is also the system owner.
Exploits today are focused at something that can be done remotely, or use social engineering to trick an email recipient etc. into doing something to compromise security - i.e. something that ransomware gangs can leverage to take over a system with a privilege escalation, and do their thing.
