Feedback and suggestions

[Adam Miller]

J. Mak & Everyone else,
     I completely agree that Xubuntu will pass Kubuntu, the fact that the
panels should be smaller by default, and I like the new window dressings
(that just came out in the update) along with the idea of V3 being default
wallpaper, but I would have to disagree with the icon padding. I really
don't think that's an issue and I kinda like it, but then again .. that is
just my opinion.

    Also, the boot splash still doesn't exist on AMD64 ... any thoughts? I
have tried it on 2 different AMD64 machines (one a single and the other a
dual core) and I get the same results, just wondering.

But yes, Xubuntu dominates and we will become the most used alternative to
Ubuntu, all in due time.
