These are the issues I've found so far:

• Epiphany Web Browser uses "User" directory as default for downloads, it should
  use "Downloads" instead.
• Changes made to the user image in "System → Preferences → About me" shows when
  closing the user sessions, but doesn't persist after rebooting (the system login screen
  keeps displaying the default "silver person" user image).
• I couldn't open Gnumeric help. I get this error:
  
      Couldn't load the page
      The requested URI «ghelp:gnumeric» is not valid

• Is it necessary to have "Xsane" and "Simple scan"? I've had a good experience with
  the latter; I think the "Xsane" GUI is kind of overwhelming.
• Abiword freezes every time I select any option in the help menu
  (except the "About Abiword" option).
  
  
  

I've been testing installing and using the software I use regularly, and everything works great so far.
I'll be doing more testing this week and report back any issues I find.


Thanks for all the hard work!
