I can remember quite a few bugs without checking my notes (which are in another drive with 12.04 installed):
--When using Unity, if an application is launched through a shell-script, there is no icon for it in the vertical panel (works all right in 'gnome classic no effects').
--Lightdm logins not being logged in utmp/utmp records do not have X display address in host field.
--Banshee/Rhythmbox regularly stop playing audio when left on in the background (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/978604). Which, I suspect, is in fact a pulseaudio bug.
--A new nautilus window opens underneath all other open application windows.
...
There are also usability issues.
Unity
--I need menus to add abstraction layers (Path & Application names). I have tried classicmenu-indicator (https://bugs.launchpad.net/classicmenu-indicator) but navigating menu trees sometimes fail. I modified it to show menu comments but, although it works in Ubuntu-10.04, they are not shown in 12.04.
--There is no netspeed applet for Unity. I wrote my own 'indicator' and it works all right but there are some character width issues (http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11937435&postcount=13). I know I can probably tweak unity to get a constant width font but... I am fed up with tweaking and tweaking to get a user experience worse than what I already have with Ubuntu-10.04.

General
--Why did they remove the tool bar in nautilus? I (and everyone, I guess) miss: 'home' 'back' 'forward' 'up' 'reload' 'search' 'list/icon view/compact view'. Yes I know there are key shortcuts but the whole point of a graphic interface is to work without them.

Sorry if I got a bit carried away. This isn't the place to grumble about the new distro.
Best regards Sebastien,
Manolo.
