Almost all programs have progress indications. Most of them are similar but still there is a great varity (some show in their progress with PopUps some use TaskBars, other use the Panel)....

currently there are 452 open bugs for 10.04 listed on launchpad.net.
First I was shocked by this high number - but when I did some checks most of the listed bugs I do not have any issues with because the regarded packages were not even installed on my machine at this moment.
While in Ubuntu well working progs like pidgin are changed some ?stalled? progs are still there
Like F-Spot
It seems that it is no longer pushed forward thats why I propose to seek for alternative

Not an idea
some critical questions on meta contacts. (I know there wont be immediate solutions as the single projects need to integrate themselves but this idea is aimed to build a vision around meta contacts and a integrated OS
*) why does my empathy not check the evolution-data-server for new contacts added there and try to find them (via email as a starting point) on the IM world I am connected to myself?
*) why is thunderbird in a GNOME environment not using e-d-s at very least for an auto-completion feature?
*) why is e-d-s not trying to use social networks to complete the meta-contacts I have?
*) why is the indicator-applet not my single entry front-end to indicate all kind of actions in relation to meta contacts?
-> like "hey we tried to complete your contacts using online sources, we would need your attention not to ruine your DB with wrong information!"
-> ...
*) why is there no link between my pics in f-spot and my meta-contacts (not necessarely without interaction - e.g. manually tagged e.g.)

When you ship Ubuntu with Firefox by default you should spend considerable time to generate also default bookmarks that comes with Ubuntu.
If Tags, Descriptions, RSS (maybe by preinstalled Sage extension) and all the possibilities now in FF3 are fully used I think you will
*) support novice users finding their way in Ubuntu and all the default programs that come with it
*) get more volunteers for (actively) supporting Ubuntu

there are thousand ideas to contact IBM and similar companies to pre-install Ubuntu.
What about HDD manufactors ?
I buy a HDD (or maybe SSD once its much cheaper). Wouldn't it be nice to start my system at least once with the live cd behavior on my system? then of course a simple click should be enough to format it again...
