Can also confirm launchpad, not that I actually use it or care in the slightest, but I do usually give it a whirl to test overall ui smoothness on the rMBP and happened to notice it occasionally gets stuck and requires an additional swipe or two..
Got a tip for us?

Launchpad and Safari are the same for me too. So annoying. I almost went back to the beta. haha. I didn't notice the Time Machine one, but I'm sure it's like that.
I'm getting a glitch with the Safari plug-in for 1Password. Sometimes when I click the browser extention icon the menu appears but you'd hardly notice it was there (mainly when the app is locked and is asking for a password). If you enter the password the menu is displayed correctly. Not sure if this is Mavericks or 1Password though.
Re: Launchpad issue
Did a PRAM and SMC reset and this resolved my Launchpad issue completely.

Well I’ll be damned. It’s fine under root. Any idea how to clear this up in my user account? I’ve tried purging caches and deleting prefs and whatnot. What am I missing?

I noticed the Time Machine menubar icon and also thought it was a bug 
I've noticed that creating a new tab, either on Finder or Safari, is very sluggish.
On the Finder is worse, every time I create a new tab all the icons kind of jump and turn white for a second and the tab kind of flies from the right very sluggishly.
On Safari, it only happens when the tab bar is not showing (when there's only one page open).
Anybody else who noticed this? Is it fixed on the new GM build?

I have my system language set on Spanish, there's also some text glitches but I think it's more of a translation issue (text not fitting on some buttons or bad formatting).

Same deal with French which I use about 50% of the time, but mostly its sentences being squished horizontally to make room for the extra words inherent in French. Kind of unavoidable, I guess.
Now on the Mavericks official release, and the text in my General System Preferences is still distorted. I have deleted system and user caches, font caches, preferences, and even took the somewhat radical step of migrating my user account to a new user. If I log in as root or as a completely new user, the System Preferences look fine. So its something in my user account which is at fault.
Very strange.

I am a moron. I had, at some point in the past, modified the system font size settings using something like TinkerTool. By resetting the font values to their defaults, the cosmetic glitches Id noticed in Mavericks were instantly fixed.
