Here's what I'm aware of in the pipeline. I would expect various changes
in addition to this, but nothing very major.

Patches in the process of landing
=================================
* The default font will be changing to Cantarell and font sizes for the
top panel will change. (Should land in the next couple of days.)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634226
* A completely revised calendar popdown.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=632109
* The shutdown/logout dialogs will be changing from GTK+ dialogs to
shell-themed dialogs
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=637187
* The way that the dash (left bar in the overview) resizes when there
are more thing than fit is getting some improvements and will look
prettier. (So for now screenshot it when icons are at the largest
size.)
Stuff less far along
====================
* UI will be added for displaying information about fallback mode
and forcing fallback mode when the system seems capable of doing
a full composited desktop.
(This is my biggest area of concern going into GNOME 3.0 - not
having the final design or much code for this.)
* A native network indicator applet will be added that works with
NetworkManager 0.9 will be landing. (So don't screenshot the
current nm-applet which doesn't even have symbolic icons for
the panel)
? We may be implementing the workspace mockups
from http://jimmac.musichall.cz/log/ - I'd really like to get
these in - the current workspace management just isn't very
good - but we don't have code started on them so it's a
stretch.
