this raises the question: why is there no art.ubuntu.com? something
perhaps to explore.
it would be a question of minutes until an official Canonical artwork
task to the community would reveal the first dozen of design
suggestions, don't you think?

such a portal would integrate nicely with launchpad, when there are
developers in need of special buttons, symbols, logos, icons or audio
artwork for their applications.

yes, make indicators more *dynamic*! give them life, make them smart..
the session indicator needs to start showing me everything that is
session-relevant, including the availability of critical security
updates.
