Suggestions for Hoary

Hi,

I have some suggestions for Hoary. Here goes:

1) Rename CDROM labels to model names, eg. CDROM1 -> MATSHITA CDROM.
CDROM2 -> NEC DVDROM.

This makes the media handling much more intuitive. I think Mandrake does
this.

2) Update Manager / Upgrade notifier. I could not get upgrade notifier
to work, but hopefully it will work someday! 

Anyway, how about adding the _option_ to automatically download and
install the updates ? 

Also, I guess that installing a new kernel update notifies the user that
he/she has to reboot the system to make the changes take effect ?

3) Take a look at bug https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3172

to improve the menu handling so non-Gnome apps will appear there as
well.
