Hopefully not the print dialog, because the GNOME version is absolutely 
too limited.. only duplex and tumble settings available for the printers 
even if they supported more (via CUPS). Yes, the settings can be tweaked 
via printed-admin, but it is too cumbersome and they should be editable 
for a specific print job.

I might ask: is there any chance to improve the GNOME print dialog for 
Dapper? I know that gtk+2.10 will have a new version integrated but it 
is too late for D.
