These two are known problems that will hopefully be fixed upstream for GNOME
2.12.

We have a no-open-ports policy by default, so there wouldn't be much point
shipping it by default on the desktop install (particularly when most users
wouldn't use it anyway). It's included on the CD, so you can immediately
install it if you need it.

Yes, the About Ubuntu page hasn't been changed since warty because we've
been waiting for a much nicer version from our documentation team. Have a
look at the output of 'cat /etc/lsb-release' to see which release you're
running.

(Just a bunch of desktop-related answers from me.)
