okay, I didn't go through all of them but here are some random comments:

creation_options_lvm2.jpg:

- 'Page 1' and 'Page 2' is non-descriptive. Tell the user what he can find
on the tab.
- for the two yes/no options, a checkbox is better suited I think;
- I don't see a (*) anywhere, so why say '(*) Indicates field is
required'? Also, since this is a GUI, why not use color coding as well for
required fields?
- Does the checkbox 'Display all options' have an immedeate effect on the
UI? If so, use an 'Advanced' button instead.[1]

volume_view_lvm.jpg:

- Reconsider if a toolbar is required here (only three buttons, of which
the 'Exit' button shouldn't be there. See also
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/draft_hig/toolbars.html#AEN1204
- 'The operation completed successfully'. Which operation?

snap_details.jpg:

- Since there is only one page, the 'Page 1' tab is completely
unnecessary and can only lead to confusion.



[1] I remember a discussion about this a while ago, not sure what was the
outcome...
