With Ubuntu's Telepathy integration, what about using AJAX, in helping to integrate ubuntu's services like help and support, Telepathy (using loudmouth), translations, bugs, start page, welcome-center and also applications like G-A-I where application descriptions will look nice with AJAX. With ZK, an open source AJAX framework, and probably gtkmozembed or gtkhtml, AJAX in Desktop have alot of nice and exciting use.
