mac_v,

With regard to the Places item limitation, I agree. While I'm not so
sure that adding a gconf entry is necessary, the Ubuntu gnome-panel
package could patch the hardcoded value as mentioned in the upstream
report. The limit of 5 bookmarks is bizarre; less than half of the menu
height can be utilized, and yet, after installing a few extra
applications, the System -> Preferences menu will overflow at a standard
1024x768 resolution.

We could raise the limit from 5 to 8 or perhaps a little more, and the
menu will never overflow - unless you have a lot of partitions/devices
present on your system (and why can't the list of devices turn into a
submenu in the same way as bookmarks do?).

We don't need to fight with upstream - let's add the gnome-panel package
to the also-affected list for this bug and see if the maintainer would
be willing to make this very small change.
