I'm not a huge fan of *completely* borderless windows.  While it works
fine when the windows have shadows, on computers that don't support
Compiz, it can be hard to tell where the windows start and end.  I do
like the idea of the integrated window decorator.  One thing that I
would add to your list is monochromatic notification area icons.  It
looks elegant, and is one of the things that really caught be eye in
mockups like New Wave and Union.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by the New Wave-style menus.  If
you mean that the highlight/selection effect in the menubar blends
into the menu itself, then I like it too.  Otherwise, could you please
clarify?
