i'd say it's 90% there for sure - it does look great.

that said there are still many 'alien' icons in the set that do add some 
noise to the artwork overall (laptop AC/bat icon and 'support' icons for instance). 
similarly panel icon placement is obviously a bit poor (look at the 
logout button for instance, it's not 'centered' - a pixel or two away from the top 
of the panel). 

considering where Ubuntu was 6 weeks ago however, it's a gigantic improvement.

congrats all!
