totem movie player should keep aspect ratio  
Written by _sebastian_ the 29 Mar 08 at 11:52. Category: Multimedia. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
it would be good to have a option to keep the aspect ratio of the playing movie when changing the size of the window.

by now (feisty for me) there is the option to resize to 1:2 1:1 2:1 and to set the aspect ratio but none which says "keep aspect ratio".
This should work for any aspect ratio the movie file comes with, just keep it.

Control center button in System menu  
Written by _sebastian_ the 29 Mar 08 at 08:46. Category: System. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
add a separate button to the System menu to open the Control center.

As the Control center bundles many options in the preferences it would make sense to move it out of the preferences menu.

make Remote Desktop work within the whole ubuntu family  
Written by _sebastian_ the 29 Mar 08 at 08:35. Category: Internet & Networking. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
in my feisty setup I have the Remote Desktop preferences but I could not figure out how to connect to my mums xubuntu gutsy installation. Has xubuntu even a remote desktop thin included? I could not find settings for it. I tried to install freeNX but somehow I failed miserably.

I would like to see a Remote Desktop/VNC solution with uses little bandwidth and works the same/in similar way in all ubuntu derivates

make "check new idea for duplicates" a separate step  
Written by _sebastian_ the 23 Jun 08 at 23:35. Category: Brainstorm. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
currently when you fill out the "Title" for a new idea brainstorm will search and show "Possible duplicates" of the idea.

I suggest to split the action of submitting a new idea into three steps similar to submitting a bug in bugs.launchpad.net

enter the Title of your idea ... click create
brainstorm will show "Possible duplicates"
if not amongst the Possible duplicates you can create your own idea

By doing this the process of submitting duplicates becomes a additional check people/submitter _have_ to go through before posting new ideas

localhost should always be accessible  
Written by _sebastian_ the 7 Jul 08 at 00:36. Category: Internet & Networking. Related to: Firefox. New
currently I have not network at home, no LAN or WLAN. This causes my Firefox to start in offline mode.

Which is a good thing, I think it makes sense. The problem is that I have a local webserver running (on this machine) and I can't connect to it via http://localhost/ or http://127.0.0.1. Firefox then complains about the 'offline mode'.

I think local addresses like the ones above should always be allowed as they are not dependent on the actual LAN/WLAN connection.

add TaskCoach to the repository  
Written by _sebastian_ the 31 Mar 08 at 11:10. Category: Office. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
It would be nice to have TaskCoach http://www.taskcoach.org/ in the official repository.

The developers provide already a debian/ubuntu deb package (http://downloads.sourceforge.net/taskcoach/taskcoach_0.69.2-1_all.deb) and are quite active at the moment.
