user-trash2, totally agree on that, looks awesome! no more cheap gloss. 
(the analogy between the recycling logo and ubuntu logo is striking :-)

i have a question on the dictionary icon: why is it presented from such 
a sideways angle, unlike the trash? i think you should keep consistent 
here, and the frontal view of the trash is just perfect. (i know that 
osx abandoned their pseudo-3d-angle icons because of cover-flow, and we 
never know what may be coming next in ubuntu, just think of the desktop 
cube...)
