Cheese should have a preferences dialog, and should not just assume a particular audio/video device.For instance currently i cannot record my audio with my web cam because the audio source is wrong. I can however go into "Sound Recorder" and select the proper input to record audio.

I love this on particular feature of Mac OS 9 and would love to see it in Nautilus:

In OS9 you could take a folder and drag it to the edge of your desktop where the folder would turn into a tab (named with the title of the folder) on the edge of the screen. When you click on the tab the folder would "Slide"(Although the animation is unnecessary) out and allow you to preform normal folder operations. When you clicked on anything other than the popped out folder it would turn back to a tab on the edge of the screen. These tabs could be dragged to any location on the edge of the screen. Even though there are multiple virtual desktops, I believe that this would be useful as long as someone does not drag the folder past the screen edge (which would cause it to drag on the next workspace). I seem to recall that you were even able to color code tabs. I have never encountered a more useful file manager addition as this and would love to see it replicated to make Ubuntu great.

I'm sorry i couldn't find an adequate screenshot of this feature, if u see it please reply with it.

Windows Server 2008 has a notion of "Roles" that I think would work amazingly on Ubuntu. The idea is that if you want your computer to have a new role you just add it.
Ex. I want my computer to serve websites.
install the "Serve Websites Role" and pick features of that role like "Apache" and "php" etc.

Ex. I want my computer to be a mediacenter.
install the "Mediacenter Role" and pick features of that role like "XMBC" and "Codecs pack" etc.

This would consist of a status screen:

And a wizard that configures/gets packages:

This is a feature I absolutely love in Server 2008!
