Comment 52 for bug 527267

I did a fresh install (10.04.1) on my 10" Asus EEE and what was the first thing i saw? Yeah, you're right.

Four months after release and this design flaw is still present. How sad. Or funny? Tragical anyway.

Ubuntu designers/programmers are doing great job and surely it's not easy to satisfy everyone's needs. But when you have great idea (which this applet really is) and you decide to implement it... you should do it right. You shouldn't release it with obvious design flaws and then do nothing to fix it. Ubuntu is not some garage-made distro with five users and this looks very unprofessional.

I showed default Ubuntu desktop to nine people around me and everyone except one (I've always suspected him to be blind :))) noticed different spacing in panel. Is this really necessary for the flag ship of Linux on desktops?
