Empty root trash  
Written by gaspard.leon the 6 Apr 08 at 22:48. Category: System. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
I just discovered that the folder /root/.Trash contains everything I ever deleted while using a root nautilus window to manage root-owned folders...

Suffice to say it wasn't empty... ;)

Perhaps with all the "Better trash bin" type ideas, this might have already been mentioned...

We need a button or link next to the empty trash button that says something like "Empty root trash" or even "View root trash" with a gksu prompt when pressed...

Or, this could be integrated into some sort of "Disk Cleanup" program.

Brainstorm: Compare your own ratings  
Written by gaspard.leon the 4 Mar 08 at 22:14. Category: Brainstorm. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
Problem: at the moment you can only rate +1 so you can't indicate if you "like the idea" or "think the idea is essential"

Since you can only rate +1 or -1 it would be nice if you could do a "quick rating comparison" or some such where you are presented with two ideas which you have rated +1 (or -1), and asked to pick which is more important, or if they are equal you can skip them...

This way you can say "graphical tweak that sounds cool" which you rated +1 cause you liked the idea is less important then "hardware db implementation" or "display configure GUI" or whatever your favourite important idea is.
