For any screenshots that have the Launcher in them, we'll need to retake after they've finished updating the Launcher icons. (They're adding a couple new ones.) (Quite a few UI freeze exceptions have been cropping up this week, but I haven't had time to review all of them yet.) --Kevin _

I'll have to redo a couple of my screenshots this weekend. I hadn't read the installation chapter, prior to making them. So, my screenshots all have "ubuntu user" in them (as that was in the Style Guide, and I wasn't sure if we ever made a final decision on what name/username to use). I'll add "Joh
