K3B is far better than Brasero. XFCE is tolerable though not quite KDE yet. Would be nice to see the superfast kernel 3.5 as an option, and P2P pre-installed (finding amule-dlp 2.2.6 to replace the broken 2.3.1 is difficult, qbittorrent would be nice also as transmission is a bit weak), XnViewMP rather than crap image viewers, and other tweaks any sane user installs immediately.
