How about cleaning the startmenu to be more windows like?
How about finally adding 32-bit icon support? ;)
Yes, start menu should be made more like the Windows 2000 one (I don't like, and don't think it's right as of now to use the XP one). This is what I was implying with this item on the list:

The taskbar and startmenu's look definitely needs to be tweaked. Here are a few suggestions of mine:
- The start button needs to be several pixels larger in height and positioned a tiny bit more to the left. The "Start" text needs to be centered vertically and the font itself should be in bold. (The ReactOS icon really looks nice!)
- The desktop switcher should be disabled by default or at least moved out of the quicklaunch bar.
- The time in the icon bar should be centered vertically.
- the hide/show unused icons in the icon bar looks a bit out of line with the rest. I think a simple bevelled equilateral triangle would look nicer.

640x480 Is critical. The system must fall back to 640x480 if it cannot detect monitor type. Yes I still find 15 inch 640x480 only monitors. I aggree with run 800x600 it will look nicer but 640x480 is critical that if monitor cannot be detected to drop to it as a fail safe. Ie startup size sould be setable some LCD screen 800x600 looks only a little less stupid than 640x480 due to black boarder around screen.
Virtual Demision(I have spelt this wrong it's on sourceforge is a Virtual Desktop thing) Transparent Drag windows option like the Virtual Demision transparent window. Transparent windows options.
Yes I a linux user and one of the best parts of X11 is the means to drag a window with only a boarder so you can see what you will be draging to over the top of. This option is also performance boast option for low end systems. Programs not having to redraw while moving a window. Yep max Transparent delete the inside contents from screen of a window and drag.
