So that it has no access to the rest of the operating system or file system, except the cache folder.
So it cannot gain write access to files and registry keys outside of a user profile's folder.

This will prevent exploits and security vulnerabilities in the web browser (or its plugins and extensions) from being exploited to install malware on the computer.

I realise the difficulties inherent in this; a daemon or service would eat up unnecessary CPU cycles, it's impractical to patch every program in existence to follow this behaviour, and most other ways of doing this have one argument against them or another. However, if this were presented as an opt-in behaviour, I believe it would benefit a fair percentage of people for a relatively small amount of coder output.

Since changing the background of panels is not a frequent operation, this binding should be disabled by default. (Setting up the background in properties tab is enough.)

In my case, I run Ubuntu on a desktop system, so neither I need PCMCIA support nor I need bluetooth, and so on.

It would be nice to be able to choose needed services during installation process, so the user can avoid to use BUM or touch "/etc/rc?.d" files in a second moment to remove unneeded services.

Next step might be adaptive activation of services. Let's say I disabled bluetooth a while ago. But now I start using it. Before I change the configuration file, the bluetooth service can be added to list of services to be activated during boot.
