-1 to removing the pulsating icon.

I really like it. I think it's something really unique and special about the
Sugar approach. To be honest, I found it one of the most attractive,
colourful and playful features I first encountered. Most of the rest of the
UI is grey, it's great to have something dynamic and interesting.

+1 to the close button.

Being unable to cancel is a real pain in the XO-1. Some of the apps seem to
hang when loading, and there's no way to know what's going on. Also, it's
quite easy to load up a second application, because the menus are not always
as responsive as they could be.
