Description
Hi! I think Ubuntu should include a AWN-like taskbar by default in ubuntu.

Id say Canonical should talk with its original developer and take care of the project (or a fork) to optimize it for ubuntu.

Also increase the number of applets and make them work properly:

- Facebook Applet
- Digg applet doesnt work
- System Monitor
- A Previous/Play/Next buttons that work with our default player and not only banshee...

Ubuntu could optimize the boot time of it, make it look nicer, improve the crappier way it loads which is chunky...

This would make ubuntu look really neat, and differenciate it from the rest of linux distributions which are powerful but look shitty (besides mint, gos which are either based on ubuntu or worst)

This is my Desktop and this is how (somehow) I would like Ubuntu to look like (ALSO with better theme, but thats another story)

Yeah... Sorry I always commit the same mistake. I was actually impressed nobody suggested something like this, but didnt realize my mistake...

Not everyone can run AWN however, so this wouldn't work.
