Ubuntu's features also include the Address Book Search applet, the 
Battery Charge Monitor applet, the Character Palette, the Command Line 
applet, the Connect to Server applet, the CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor 
applet, the Dictionary Lookup applet, the Disk Mounter applet, the 
Drawer applet, the Fish applet, the Force Quit applet, Geyes, the 
Keyboard Accessibility Status applet, the Keyboard Indicator, the Pilot 
Applet, the Run Application applet, the Search for Files applet, the 
Sticky Notes applet, the Stock Ticker applet, the System Monitor 
applet, the Screenshot applet, the Terminal Server Client applet, and 
the Weather Report applet.

None of those (IIRC) are on by default, and none of them have the 
ability to cause as much distress as the workspace switcher does. So do 
you think they should all by on by default too? After all, it is always 
possible to turn them off.
