automation

Wouldn't it be nice to have a .sh file which does all this automatically when called from the terminal with the su or sudo command? Just a suggestion for bored programmers. It would also be nice to have the menubar on the panel just like in Mac OS X, but I suspect achieving this can be a real pain in Linux. Apart from that, this all seems pretty awesome, the last screenshot is indistinguable from real Mac OS X Leopard and I might be doing this on my experimental Linux Mint box.

Actually, there is a program for the Gnome panel called Global Menu that emulates the Mac Menu perfectly by moving the menu options from the window itself to the panel.  Currently it doesn't work with Firefox (and of course Songbird, since they share common code) or OpenOffice, but for everything else it's a pretty sweet deal.  Also, the first time I tried Mac4Lin, I used a .sh script.  Granted, that was from a different website.  But it worked perfectly.

The provided Firefox themes are not compatible with the current version (3.0.5).
