I'd like to put some popular, often-used programs on the launcher, as well as remove Ubuntu One, software centre, settings etc which won't be needed. In fact, the latter is more a priority than the former as I don't want irrelevant stuff cloggin up the launcher.

You have the ability to do this - through the terminal. You can run 
"sudo apt-get remove package-name", where package-name is replaced with 
the name of the package you are wanting to uninstall. I highly warn you 
about removing System Settings. If it is not available, some parts of 
Unity may be broken. For Instance, you may receive an error message 
after right-clicking the desktop, and selecting "Change Desktop 
Background". Some other parts of Unity may also be broken if you choose 
to remove System Settings. If you mean you want to remove individual 
settings in System Settings, that is not possible, because each part of 
System Settings is built around each other. Thanks!
