Ubuntu should develop a first party application which let the people choose which operating system should be selected by default, when more operating systems are found.

This should also be integrated in the Ubuntu installer and this setting should survive a "grub-update" command, so people don't have to change this over and over again.

Make some kind of regional settings at installation, or to setup later on which uses regional notations and stuf, like 24-hour system, thousand seperator, month day notation order and stuff, so you can have English as a language, but still use your regional notations.

This should be system wide, so I need to be able to use 100,50 in LibreOffice as the English 100.5

Same for 5-6-2010 which means 5 June here. And in English notation it means 6 may.

Military system also runs on the 24 hour clock however most users are not use to that kind of setting.

so just right click the clock > Preferences > click 24 hour format.

Create a "date & time settings dialog" that lets users format the display of the time & date (et. al., decimal points) to their choosing. Then manifest this chosen format system-wide.

Regardless of the region or language set on the system, using the proposed "date & time settings dialog," if a user selects 24-hour-time and Day/Month/Year and 100.50 format, then these formats should institute EVERYWHERE: for the date & time in the top panel (e.g., so the date would show "6 June" and not "June 6,"), the date & time at the ubuntu login screen, the date & time of e-mails within Thunderbird, on the headers/footers when printing stuff from the internet with Firefox, within LibreOffice, etc.

Wherever the time or date is displayed in ubuntu, the display format should correspond to what is set by the user within the "date & time settings dialog."

I live in the United States and use English language. All my ubuntu settings default to 12-hour time and Month/Day/Year, yet I ALWAYS use 24-hour time and Day/Month/Year everywhere else in my life. I should be able to set Ubuntu to display date & time how it is displayed everywhere else in my home and work environment.

The option "connect automatically" should be checked by default. This is in line with "For human beings". The one weird guy who doesn't want to connect to their wifi connection when available is handy enough to uncheck it, while the noob users aren't handy enough to check it.

Why would people enable their wifi on their laptop but not want to connect to their known networks? I can't find any usecase for that scenario, so please enable that check by default.

Turn the double click into a single one. For a much smoother experience. I would also like to see the thumbnails really scaled, instead of scaled down.

And maybe when you hover a certain workspace, make it show somewhat fullscreen, like Windows 7 has. This really improves usability imo.

I'd recommend making it so right clicking the workspace switcher immediately switches to the workspace clicked on the applet icon, while left clicking enters expo mode with the workspace clicked on the applet icon already focused (so double clicking on the icon also switches workspaces).

Make the fields in the application list sortable, so you can have all the high rated apps at the top, or at the bottom if you find it more handy. Or maybe you want the list to show descending alphabetic, anyways just make it sortable so that noobs don't need to dig through the tons of crappy never-finished-but-are-in-the-store-because-we-want-no-quality-control-like-app le apps but are displayed the best apps which do work.

Add the "Label" functionality which is available when you create a partition to the Edit functionality of partitions, so you can label existing partitions.

In the Control Panel or somewhere at a logical place there must be an option to control the behavior.

- The behavior as a toggle button to restore windows or show desktop, while it already acts as a restore button when a single windows is already minimized.

-The behavior of what the name implies: A Show Desktop button. No matter how many windows are already minimized, it always gives you the desktop instantly, it only restores windows when ALL windows are minimized and you are already looking at the desktop.

For example I have Firefox, Pidgin, Nautilus and my mail client opened. If minimize Firefox there are still Pidgin, Nautilus and the mail client.
If I show the desktop with the shortcut or the button the other programs does also minimize, so far so well.

If I "showed" the desktop and all applications I minimized I will open an other nautilus with clicking on a folder on the desktop or through "Places" then the one nautilus window starts.
But here is THE PROBLEM: If I show the desktop again there all windows maximize from before instead of showing the desktop. That's really annoying!

Just as in 9.10 and lower: Re-enable how it was: Hover the volume icon and spin the wheel will change the volume.

My solution is some kind of "unlock" button (like in the network applet of Gnome). When you press it you get the gnome password screen and after successfully filling in the password you are root in that program, this is much handier than quitting the program and restart it with SUDO.

Solution #1 is really up to the individual application. If a generic command can be issued externally, it would also do the trick.

Add a button or menu item to Nautilus and Gedit to unlock root. Then the it will ask for your password like it does when using the software center.

When you try to save a file in gedit or copy/move/delete a file in Nautilus which you don't have permission to modify, then ask the user for password to escalate the privileges.
