I've installed it too, and it's a very usefull addition, but first the following bug needs to be solved: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-utils/+bug/163518 (The applications don't show up in the menu currently) If gnome-utils is not to be included, I think Hardy should definitely include at least a search tool and a screenshot tool.
