Binary package hint: ubuntu-desktop

Ubuntu allow the user to select its prefered application but when user's prefered application is a web service (gmail or google calendar for instance) user can't use it within Ubuntu with the same level of integration.

For instance there is no easy way to select a popular webmail as default mail application.
However you can find on the web a trick to use Gmail as GNOME’s default mailer for mailto links http://matthew.ruschmann.net/blog/Linux/gnome-gmail-1.1.html (that trick works on a system level, not only in Firefox like Firefox 3's new ability to register webapps as link handlers)

Also, nautilus-sendto should be abble to work with popular Popular Web-mail Services (see Bug #275775 which is related)

Ideally, the clock applet in panel should be configurable to display events from google calendar
