I took these screenshots using a Kubuntu Intrepid Beta installation after performing a full dist-upgrade, at 1280×1024, with the nVIDIA 173 driver installed.

The default theme used is Oxygen.
Ubuntu 8.10 is shipping next week with a horde of updated packages including the Linux 2.6.27 kernel, X.Org 7.4, Pidgin 2.5, GIMP 2.6, and many other packages that have experienced significant milestones since the April release of Ubuntu 8.04.
