It would be nicer to have some sort of swipe to unlock the same way as the Aquaris E5 does. Instead of a straight swipe I’d make use of the extra screen space and have the ubuntu logo, and you have to swipe around on of the three peoples “arms” to present the number pad.  


A Greeter/Lockscreen improvement task is currently being worked on in
Design. Might take another few months before it hits your device though.
Not exactly sure on the details atm. I'll let a designer comment more on
this.

I think that showing Firefox, XChat, an LibreOffice on the touch interface kind of feels like the creators are trying to “fill the space” with any app they can. I’m happy to leave the software installed, but these are not touch apps.  

Hmm... I think you'd need to make your image writable for that and
manually delete the .desktop files from /usr/share/applications/.

Agreed, this is not totally awesome yet. I think there is some
improvement for this on designer's list too.

Sorry, don't know which one that is.
