I was looking through a Novatech leaflet/magaziney thing (where they
advertise all their new pcs) about 2 years ago and one of the monitors
had a modified Ubuntu desktop... could've just been gnome, but it had
the panel at the top and bottom of the screen and I don't think all
gnome dists have that as default do they? 
I like to think it was Ubuntu, cos that was when I was just getting into
Linux etc. Does that count? It was a long time ago :D
