No, unfortunately we don't have a such list... But on gtk side I guess
the needed patches are the ones for integrated-menus, while on X side
it's worth to mention the Xfixes patch to support the Pointer Barrier·
There are more, (such as some nautilus unity integration patches), but
I'm not all are mandatory. However you should ask to Ubuntu-devel
mailing list as this is more an integration and distro related work.
