      <description><![CDATA[When you are activating a compiz effect, you actually don't know what will you get. So these effects (and perhaps tips for using them) can be previewed in a short flash movie so you will know what you are doing. Google Sketch Up already has something like this.<br />

      <title><![CDATA[[1680] Disk Manager by default]]></title>
      <link>http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/item/323/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[There have been complaints that Ubuntu lacks a disk configuration utility, which forces newbies to manually edit fstab if they want to use a drive that was not present when they installed the system. Manually editing the file is difficult and frustrating to them, and not an ideal way to handle the issue on the long run.<br /><br />An application exists by the name of Disk Manager, which keeps tracks and notifies of newly added units, and for extremely easy (automagical) configuration. That is the kind of stuff we want in Ubuntu.<br /><br />-Disk Manager notifies about new drives:<br /><br />http://flomertens.free.fr/disk-manager/images/notify.png<br /><br />-Disk Manager allows the user to mount or unmount drives without any hassle, even by providing a simple name for them:<br /><br />http://flomertens.free.fr/disk-manager/images/add.png<br /><br />-Disk Manager allows to easily enable NTFS writing support:<br /><br />http://flomertens.free.fr/disk-manager/images/main_general.png<br /><br />-Disk Manager allows to keep track of mounted / unmounted partitions and free space on them:<br /><br />http://flomertens.free.fr/disk-manager/images/main_advance.png<br />

      <description><![CDATA[cdroms are slow, don't allow to modify their content easily, they are weak and not as easy to carry as USB keys.<br /><br />It would be great to provide Ubuntu as a liveUSB just as Mandriva does. We should be able to carry our distribution on any computer, manage our preferred settings (do I want binary drivers enabled ? what is my preferred resolution ?), etc.<br /><br />The thing is not to make something transportable, but really a nomad system that could be used just the best way as it could on any computer.<br />

      <link>http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/item/80/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[First of all: What is the difference between Preferences and Administration? For example: why do I see 'Encryption and Keyrings' in Preferences and 'Keyring Manager' in Administration? What is the difference between 'Default Printer' and 'Printing'? Why do I have to disable the Tracker under Sessions and not under Search and Indexing? And why are these menu's so large? I have 24 items in Preferences (they don't even fit on my screen!) and 18 items in Administration. To put all this stuff in a popup menu is bad interface design imho. Besides, the number of option should be much smaller. A few suggestions:<br /><br />- Merge 'Screensaver', 'Screen Resolution' and 'Screens and Graphics'.<br />- Merge 'Network', 'Network Proxy' and 'Network Tools'.<br />- Merge 'Update Manager, Synaptic Package Manager, Software Sources'.<br />- Merge 'Encryption and Keyrings', 'Authorizations', 'Keyring Manager'.<br /><br /><br />Below are all settings I can visit via the System menu. This is just way too much.<br /><br /><br />-- Preferences --<br />Universal Access<br />About Me<br />Appearance<br />Bluetooth<br />Default Printer<br />Encryption and Keyrings<br />Keyboard<br />Keyboard Shortcuts<br />Main Menu<br />Mouse<br />Network Proxy<br />PalmOS Devices (I don't have one)<br />Power Management<br />Preferred Applications<br />Remote Desktop<br />Removable Drives and Media<br />SCIM Input Method Setup (What is this?)<br />Screen Resolution<br />Screensaver<br />Search and Index (Why can't I disable the tracker here?)<br />Sessions<br />Sound<br />System Settings <br />Windows<br /><br />-- Administration --<br />Authorizations (for what?)<br />Hardware Drivers<br />Keyring Manager (for what?)<br />Language Support<br />Login Window<br />Network<br />Network Tools<br />Printing<br />Screens and Graphics<br />Services<br />Shared Folders<br />Software Sources<br />Synaptic Package Manager (imagine a new user: wtf is Synaptic?)<br />System Log<br />System Monitor<br />Time and Date<br />Update Manager<br />Users and Groups<br />

      <description><![CDATA[At the moment it's possible to manage traditional wired and WiFi connections using Network Manager. To connect via a modem, a 3G/GPRS card, over bluetooth to a cell phone or via USB to another device requires that the user installs extra packages, and does a fair amount of configuration that isn't found in Network Manager.<br /><br />A single unified tool should be provided which allows the user to connect to a network (or internet) via any supported method. It would also be useful to provide an extension to this tool to manage firewall rules and network connection sharing.<br />
