Could be good if there's be an option to enable a "economy mode" like in Windows SO http://postimage.org/image/dnnkiebzj/ to reduce battery consumption.
But, we can do it better and not as complicated as in Windows SO. Only few options, and a simple checkbox to enable this mode.

Windows have two modes, the simple mode and the advanced mode.
The simple mode is good, but doesn't allow to disable the "limite CPU", result in a slow interaction that some user wouldn't allow. Also doesn't allow to disable bluetooht and wifi easily and automatically, but all laptops have now a shortcut to disable bluetooht and wifi, so it's not serious issue.

The advanced mode is a complicated and ugly interface, so we have to do a simple and efficient and understanding decissions settings to a common user.

Mock-up (actualized 14/5/2012, change names to a understanding names, not technical names like "CPU"):

Manually resizable Control Center would make the job with it more convenient.

If fixed Control Center size is a special idea, it must change it's size automatically, depending on screen size to make it more comfortable to work with it.

May sound like an extra unnecessary option, but it maybe very helpful for many people.

Keep it case-sensitive by default.

In such case, we should make #our-channel clickable: clicking it should open IM window, and automagically connect user to correct server/channel.

This could use proposed IRC URL scheme: http://www.w3.org/Addressing/draft-mirashi-url-irc-01.txt

When you lock the computer it should take you back to the login screen. All active users users would have some mark next of there profile ID or username or whatever. Of course you can leave them a message just as usual. If the multi-login environment is restricted so to would it's features be at the login screen.

When running an app:
1) Capture Stderr.
2) Analyse Stderr for missing libraries problem.
3) If something was missing, scan packagekit for the file, offer to install it. ("Libsdl.so.1 is missing, would you like to install LibSDL?")
4) Relaunch the app.

Benefits:
1) VERY easy to develop
2) Allows Ubuntu to self diagnose app launching problems.
3) Far better backwards compatibility.
4) Tar.gz's will be easier to run.

Just as #1, but instead of monitoring console output, the cleaner solution should be to handle the error directly in the linker (or whatever causes these errors ;) ).

The linker itself could then call another program handling the user dialogs, installation proposals etc.

Furthermore, the second program should also offer a console interface in case the error occurs in a non-graphical environment.

there is a daemon in the launchpad that was created by someone and can do this automatically. the daemon detects screen rotation and rotates the wacom tablet accordingly.

It would be nice if this package is installed by default for tablet-pc.

this is the link to the launchpad page:

https://launchpad.net/~thjaeger/+archive/tabletpc/+packages

I have installed this daemon and it worked successfully on ubuntu 12.04. Now, I wish the ubuntu team will add this daemon to the repository and install it by default along with the wacom driver.

a simple notification like
"Installing these updates will require reboot"
should be shown in advance.

Other than complete reboot, system should initiate service restart with confirmation from user.

Full path on mouse hover or on right-click will be very nice.
I guess that preferably on hover to reduce the number of clicks.
And, well, once we are showing something on hover, maybe some more properties (full path and date of last modification may be the most useful in my opinion but we might think in showing all the options the nautilus right-click menu does show --and the path!--)

Have Ubuntu Tour already in Ubuntu and upon a user logging in for the first time, prompt the user to take the tour. Also, the user can have the option of taking the tour immediately or take it at a later time. The Ubuntu Tour should be a bit more interactive than the one on the website such as guiding the user on performing a basic task such as accessing the Ubuntu Software Center to install a program like Mozilla Firefox. Basic foundations to get a user started.
