--When using Unity, if an application is launched through a shell-script, there is no icon for it in the vertical panel.
  It is a known behaviour (I googled it after I noticed) but I am not sure if it is considered a bug. It is a bug for me: I have a kind of switchboard script to launch applications with links like 'DefaultTextEditor' and nautilus runs the associated script (link). I use the distro but at the same time protect my 'things' from it: If 'gedit' is no longer the default text editor I only have to modify a single script (panel menu's items' icons do not depend on the distro either).

--Lightdm logins not being logged in utmp/utmp records do not have X display address in host field.
  As I mentioned in bug #870297, I have used, for a long time, scripts that send messages (reminders, warnings, etc) to logged users wherever they are logged in. To send those messages to graphical displays my scripts need to know (by parsing 'w' or 'who's output) who is logged and in which display name.

  According to bug #978604 it is still an issue.

--A new nautilus window opens underneath all other open application windows.
  Glad to know it's already fixed.

I am not sticking to Ubuntu-10.04 forever. I'll check Ubuntu 12.10 in October.
