[clug-talk] Does the Linux Desktop Innovate Too Much?

My 2 cents: the innovation is nice, but how about tightening up the 
works? There is still no shortage of bugs and UI fixes that could be 
done that would lead to a fantastic experience. Shuttleworth has the 
right idea with "One Hundred Paper Cuts," and I think just creating a UI 
that does what one expects it to would be more than enough to win over 
the 'unwashed masses'.
