Amarok is an amazing and pretty (read sexy) jukebox. From its ability to generate automatic playlists, to its integrated support for Shoutcast, to its recursive scanning of music directories, and its themability, it's an all-around awesome music player.
Rhythmbox, on the other hand, is clumpy, buggy and has far less built-in features. Not to mention, at any time it will randomly not play files or Shoutcast stations that I have manually added (by necessity, for lack of integration).
And all the scripts you can add to improve Amarok's functionality are just icing on the cake!

Brasero is the software burn is quite old,
Brasero recording software there is enough, please changed it to a burn k3b.

In GNOME System Monitor, it has a column called "Nice".
* http://www.watchingthenet.com/wp-content/uploads/image/ubuntusysmonitor4.png

"Nice" comes from command 'nice';
* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nice_(Unix)

However, the term "Nice" doesn't tell a user who don't know it, anything. The correct term to use would be "Priority" as that is what it indicates.

As it stands, getting compiz to work on a new Gutsy install is hit and miss. The entire process is highly dependent on video card drivers and compiz is enabled by default.

I think the 6 ttys available by default are an exageration for the common user who doesn´t use it, wasting memory resources.

Speed up the 2D rendering, because e.g. every browser scrolls very slow on a page with a lot of graphical things(divs, transparents etc.)

Gnome needs a revoultion. Ubuntu uses Gnome.
Canonical could help the Gnome3-developers e.g. with money, tips, pc-resources or something else to speed up the development and to create a better Gnome3-release.
(KDE4 has much more features than Gnome, it is faster and looks better (my oppinion). Also it uses the powerful Qt4 as widgetset that is better than GTK+ at time. Gnome is going to leave behind KDE)
[edit] I dont't say that any DE is better, but Gnome needs help and Ubuntu primary uses Gnome. KDE4 is a great DE without help from the Ubuntu developers. [/edit]

When opening a picture from Eye of Gnome, specially when browsing pictures, we should be allowed to rename te picture we are browsing - i think picture viewers like XNView and AcdSee have this, and i think it's a feature not so hard to implement (but i'm not skilled enough in C language for helping it...)

Terminator terminal emulator:

Some of the features -

It's in hardy and intrepid, with the main feature being able to split the window into multiple terminals.

Package information:

One of the very frustrating things to me is trying to control my resolution and refresh rate. On my generic auto-detected monitor, the wrong resolution is detected. So, to change, I goto screen and graphics (which for some reason was hidden in hardy). Here, I find that I can't actually change anything here. No different choices for resolution are given, nor for the refresh rate. So, I goto tell ubuntu about my monitor. I'm met with a very long list of options which must be searched through for my specific monitor type pair with resolution. The effectiveness of screens and graphics seems to be based on whether your monitor can be properly detected.

I think that there should be a much easier GUI for manually changing resolution and refresh rate. Obviously, you gotta be careful as to not make your monitor blow up! But I think screens and graphics could be cleaned up.


Here are some changes I think would help

1.) Don't display every monitor possibility in one list.

I'm thinking drop down boxes would be much better than a list with 50 choices. So, there could be a drop down box for monitor type (CRT, LCD, Plasma), for max resolution, color depth, screen number, and refresh rate. For resolution, the choices could change based on what you choose for widescreen vs. standard. There would need to be a warning about refresh rate changing, or some kind of safety net built into choosing refresh rate.



2.) Provide other optional choices that would help xorg handle you monitor better

There could be several other optional options that are found in a perfectly-detected-monitor xorg.conf. I'm basing this off of options I've seen within xorg.conf

*Physical size of the screen, orientation of screen (for secondary monitors), horizontal refresh
