I've kicked around thoughts of doing more work on the menubars from time to
time fix a lingering nit or two...make sure motif menus work...tearoffs...

I've also kicked around the thought of doing major hacking to the scrollbars
to add non-traditional functionality...  Readwear stuff, histograms,
markers, etcetera.  If this thought doesn't make you jump up and down with
excitement, see
    
    http://portal.research.bell-labs.com/orgs/ssr/people/willhill/

   "For example, the figure above shows five Scroll bars. Think of the marks
    inside them as vertically oriented histograms. (a) is an unadorned
    document scroll bar. (b) is edit wear, the width of the mark indicates
    the relative amount of editing that has occurred on that line of the
    document. (c) is edit wear of two authors in two bands inside the scroll
    bar, (d) is readwear, the amount of time spent by readers of the
    document on various sections.  (e) show 3 readers' read wear broken down
    into constituent parts (by vertical band)."

While I make no promises whatsoever, I might be persuadable if there's a
particular bug you want thwacked...
