I've only written down topics that are not that good as they could be in my opinion. Everything else is already perfect

apt sources: First thing every user should do is changing the sources from CD to http or ftp to include security updates (and universe/multiverse if wanted) - couldn't this be automated in any way? Maybe many users will forget that or some may even not know about that. At least a note in the Firefox start page would be nice.
New packages popup: After updating the new apt sources I was looking at the package-changelogs until the popup "new updates are available - want to see them?" popped up. If I click on "show me updates" another update manager window opens. The popup should not do anything (not even pop up!) if synaptics or the update manager is already running.
Firefox icon on panel: The Gnome icon on the panel next to "Applications" got replaced with the Ubuntu logo - looks great. Why not replacing the IMO not so nice looking blue Firefox logo with the original Firefox logo?
Keyboard layout window: The window for changing the keyboard layout could be sized more comfortable:

Font size: Default Monospace font is too big in comparison to the other fonts: [http://frank.niedermann.name/stuff/gedit-font.png]

Also in Firefox text areas.

Search in add to panel window: I tried to add the Terminal icon to the panel: Gnome panel / add to panel / Application launcher -> now the search bar isn't working anymore. Also if I type something into the searchbar and hit return a new "frame" (is it called frame? or widget?) gets created:
