Hi,

while setting up my production 12.04 machine I stumbled upon a few
issues, e.g. bug #768931 - "no custom icon on launcher displayed for
mono winforms and ogre apps".

This bug also crashes/closes the complete unity interface when the
user does the wrong click. And the Bug is there since 11.04 as far as
I could see.

I went crazy using Windows, but there are some categories of
annoyances you would never experience on Windows - as the bug above.
What image do I get with Ubuntu in front of newly converted Duncan
Defaultuser telling him, that unfortunately not all applications are
displayed well on your taskbar. I mean, this is a core desktop feature
that should work in the same reliable way as the underying core OS.
Such issues (and there are a few) feed the image of Linux being only
suitable for the server side. :-(

Best regards, Martin.

Bug description:
  Microsoft has a majority market share in the new desktop PC marketplace.
  This is a bug, which Ubuntu is designed to fix.

  Non-free software is holding back innovation in the IT industry,
  restricting access to IT to a small part of the world's population and
  limiting the ability of software developers to reach their full
  potential, globally. This bug is widely evident in the PC industry.

  Steps to repeat:

  1. Visit a local PC store.

  What happens:
  2. Observe that a majority of PCs for sale have non-free software pre-installed.
  3. Observe very few PCs with Ubuntu and free software pre-installed.

  What should happen:
  1. A majority of the PCs for sale should include only free software like Ubuntu.
  2. Ubuntu should be marketed in a way such that its amazing features and benefits would be apparent and known by all.
  3. The system shall become more and more user friendly as time passes.
