It was recreated and packaged by Seb. I don't use the bottom bar so it's gone, and the things in the top right are mostly not launchers. They're notification area things for Pidgin, Check GNOME Mail, Twitux, etc and some little info applets. The pic of George Washington is a shortcut to start up vpnc so I can get on my school's wireless (I go to George Washington University). I rarely use the menus either since I use Compiz to map lots of keybindings to open common applications. The wallpaper was in Hardy Heron alpha 5 and is not the one that will be in final. I just prefer this one. The panel background is mine. Instead of default Bitstream Vera fonts, I'm using Liberation fonts. The paper airplane is the close animation on dialogs, this one being the screenshot dialog. I could set a delay on the screenshot to keep it from being visible, but I wanted to show it off.
