Indeed. I'd also consider the current lack of an
"appearance/themes/colors" capplet to be fairly significant.

Moving into random pet issues of mine ;-) there's some sense that the
panel gconf setup needs a lot of work - I think we don't have a way to
lock down the set of existing panels, and the panel really doesn't
seem to handle notifications, and these things mean that we don't know
whether the schemas are correct. It also means the code is organized
in a wholly wrong way, using the "set value then assume the set
happened" method instead of the "set and then handle the notify in all
views" method. Possibly lots of work to address.

In gnome-terminal, the lack of "factory" mode and lack of "new window
with profile" are important feature gaps.

I guess we can probably live with punting all those things though,
which means we aren't all that doomed.
