I think the first part could count as a usability report:

= quote =================================================
After one week of testing gnome-shell and Gnome3 by community i've
made a list of things people complain most in Gnome3 (Fortunately this
list contains only cosmetic issues. Many thanks to gnome developers
for that.)

The list is:

- window titlebar size
 Window titles of the same color as a window background, without much
meaning since they have only one button, make almost everyone think
about wasting vertical space. This very expensive vertical space which
is already taken by "top bar".

- icon size in Applications menu
 The bug is here https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=636655.
And discussion is still open.

- color scheme
 Dark black-blue default color scheme with deep shadows seems to be
too dark and grim for many users. Once I published the light grey
version of default gnome-shell, at least 10 users changed their mind
about Gnome3 and decided to try it.

- fonts
 Default fonts are bad for non-english speaking users, who work with
non-Latin characters.
 Bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=695405 still open.
