One thing that's always bothered me, no matter which OS I've been on, is the way I can be typing in one window when another program tosses up a notification or error which immediately gets closed because I just pressed space or enter. I propose a mechanism be developed by which keyboard input is temporarily paused or halted if a window appears when more than X number of keys is being pressed per ten seconds.

I realise the difficulties inherent in this; a daemon or service would eat up unnecessary CPU cycles, it's impractical to patch every program in existence to follow this behaviour, and most other ways of doing this have one argument against them or another. However, if this were presented as an opt-in behaviour, I believe it would benefit a fair percentage of people for a relatively small amount of coder output.

It would be nice to have a hotkey, which will split the screen and show a scaled down view of all available desktops, one desktop in each split.

When this Desktop split view is active, the user should be allowed to move windows between desktops just by using Drag & Drop.

The user should be able to select a desktop as the active Desktop. This should close the split Desktop view and the selected desktop should be set as the active desktop.

I have been informed that this has already been done in Compiz. Unfortunately, Compiz requires a supporting graphics card. Can't this be done without Compiz.
