My apologies for the brusque language! I actually copied and pasted my list from an earlier post I made on a blog that...well...the commenters there are much more "free" in their language. I thought that I had cleaned up the list before I sent it off, but I see that I let that one get by. Definitely my intention isn't to denigrate anyone's efforts.
Rather, I meant that in an objective way, it looks like enough design decisions were not made where they should be. It's pretty clear that some of the spacing is coming from the GTK widgets' behavior rather than an active choice to space elements in a certain way. Whether this is the result of necessary compromises, oversights, or lack of designer-power is unclear. I will get in touch with Ayatana, I didn't realize that they were in charge of design. Thanks for the suggestion and the tips!
