Actually I have issues with all of the controls in the X/Gtk/whatever realm. There's just something about them that makes them seem less than polished. And it's not something that GNOME or KDE can really address. I'm not totally familiar with how X works, but I can recognize a bad interface when I see one. As much as the knee-jerk-anti-ms-opensource-bigots would protest, I would love to see a flawless, polished, professional looking, non-crappy GUI environment identical to Windows (or better, the OS/2 WPS) for Linux. That would motivate me to run Linux on more than just my cable-masquerading machine.
