It is important that Ubuntu is polished up to the little details. You are encouraged to add more cases or improve existent ones!

Some cases that can be improved

Applications menu

• Highlight recently installed applications

Places menu

Removable Media

Added buttons to eject/unmount the media easily.

Bookmarks

Before:

After:

attachment:bookmarks3.png

This menu shows now the 3 most used bookmarks and hides the rest under a submenu (instead of hiding all of them).

CD/DVD Creator

Added the "Clear" button.

Same icons in all places

attachment:consistent-icons.png attachment:consistent-icons2.png

When the user changes the default icon of a folder (like shown in the first image), this change should be reflected under the Places menu (like shown in the second image). This behaviour is now inexistent.

Nautilus

Nautilus keyboard navigation

Pressing right arrow in the last column should move selection, as the red line shows: [http://launchpadlibrarian.net/11627060/keyboard-navigation-expected.png]

By analogy, pressing "<-" in the first column should move to last column in the previous line.

Context sensitive actions

When the mouse is over a file, one (or more) clickable icons appear in the corners, this icons enable the user to do useful actions. Example shown in the image, when the user clicks the green arrow, the contents of the archive are extracted in the container folder.

Intelligent trash-bin

• Add an option to auto-purge elements older than X days
