True Cover Flow for Unity Launcher

When you have many applications in the Unity Launcher (especially since 12.04 where every app is also added to it by default) it feels weird when unfolding the Launcher.
Tiles that are not precisely targeted with the mouse move when unfolding the launcher because the user targeted the wrong tile.
Whenever i use folded Icons on the dock I feel the need to move the mouse of the launcher and target again because scrolling is so slow and non tweakable by default. It makes me move the mouse out of the launcher and target the specific tile i wanted... again...

Make Gnome's Sushi a default in Unity

Music file previewing was once a joy in Ubuntu, with the hover-over-to-preview feature. Alas, this is now gone, but searching since have led me to installing Gnome sushi in ubuntu, et voila... I can easily and quickly check out what a music file, video file or image is about. Can this not be a default in unity?

make Unity look like cinnamon

Dear Ubuntu Community,
12.04 is really a great OS!! Good Job!
There are a few looks, that remind me heavy on OSX and that is what I dislike a lot. I dont think there is anything wrong in making things look similar, but I truly like Mint Linux Cinnamon looks/colors and userfriendlyness more than OSX.
I would prefer, if a lot would be taken over from Cinnamon. I am sure, many users would see it likewise.
What I am NOT saying is, it should NOT be a derivative like KUbuntu, etc.. It would be right, to make unity LOOK like cinnamon.
Greetz!

Hibernate does not work when swap is encrypted

When you use encrypted home folders, the swap is also encrypted (to protect privacy).
However, as Linux is currently structured, this means that hibernate does not work.
However, the menu still offers hibernation as an option, and does hibernate, but of course when rebooting the computer, it starts afresh because it cannot recover.
This is inconsistent, because people can hibernate without any error being displayed.
Obviously, we would like the problem to be fixed, but this depends on development that is not guaranteed to happen (I understand it affects all Linux, not just Ubuntu).

Ubuntu needs better security to be Enterprise Ready

For Ubuntu to really be considered "enterprise ready" it needs to take security up a few levels. I'm not going to start some stupid flame war between RHEL/ Fedora and Ubuntu security but I think everyone can agree that getting Ubuntu to be more secure is a good thing.
Recently the Seccomp mode 2 filters were introduced into Ubuntu's kernel (not the main iirc) but it isn't actually used by anyone yet except Chrome.
Seccomp makes privilege escalation much more difficult and it should be integrated into anything internet facing to provide the maximum fine-grained security.

Resize speed when mode is set to Normal

If I set Default Resize Mode to "Normal" in Resize Window plugin of CompizConfig Settings Manager, windows resizing behaves the same as Windows does. Window content is updated when window size is changed.
Problem is that it is realy slow! I've tried that on Windows 7 where this kind of resizing is common and every app was quick. No problem there. Whereas Ubuntu Nautilus was almost unusable.

Scrollbar improvements: easy scrolling from anywhere in the scrolling margin

The scrollbars in Ubuntu are elegant but clumsy. It takes longer to locate the scrolling controls in Ubuntu than it does in Windows, Firefox etc.
Scrollbars in Ubuntu have a position indicator and a scrolling control. The position indicator is a short, thin, vertical line on the right margin of a scrollable window. The scrolling control appears when you hover over the position indicator. It is a broader, vertical, silver band with up and down arrows on it. It can be quite slow to locate the position indicator to pop up the scrolling control if you are using a sticky, laptop mousepad.
