Lets forget that I really don't know what a (or "the") keyring is good for and look at the other people who cannot set their computer up by them self.

I don't remember on which occasions I was asked, but the question was something like: "Would you like to add this password to your keyring?"
Or different: "Enter a new password to the keyring."

"No, I don't want to enter a new password, I already have a password! Why do I have to create another one?"

I am sure that there is a good reason for keyring to exist but it wasn't explained to me. I know, I am supposed to look it up on the internet but here comes the idea:

It would be great if there was a short explanatory sentence about keyring - what it is good for and why I have to write another password - when I'm being asked for a keyring password.

I'd like to see a way for non-admin users to install programs via apt, into their home directory , so they don't need root access every time they even want tiny, succinct apps (like a fortune cookie program), and still have the convenience of a package manager

There would be no security risk or overall risk to system stability as apt would run with user privileges, so they would still not be able to do any worse then they normally could do.

Dangerous programs like VMware would still not be able to be fully installed (because kernel module installation requires root). And they would not be able to erase Xorg because they don't have write access to the Xorg directories.

But they could eliminate their reliance on tar.gz's from websites, and install programs such as vdrift or open office, using the standard package managers, without requiring root intervention.

A policy could be set in a config files to determine if local users should be able to use apt with local user permissions. The code for this is easy! That way you can still stop them using apt if you wish :D

PROS
1) Untrusted noobies can install or mess around in the full APT repo without ANY risk of system damage.
2) I can hand grandma a ubuntu laptop, without sudo/root access, allow her to install programs, without risk or giving her root.
3) This could technically be implemented now, with only a few changes to synaptic or adept. Apt is already ready
4) This is a way for users to step up to more advanced package managers, without screwing up the system.

CONS
1.1) A bit more hdd space usage. But people should be using quota's anyway to protect against this in most environments.

The new lock of gnome-screensaver has a country code to the right of the "Password" field. For example, my lock says "USA" to the right of the "Password" field.

I think it is very confusing that during installation, the screen suddenly becomes black. It would be much better if there would be at least a simple image, so that the screen does not look like the computer just crashed.

The title is an example of idea i think Brainstorm have to hide : Some ideas are too logical.

Examples :
- Add software 2.0 and not software 1.9
- Support acpi
- Speed Up boot time
- Better wi-fi support
- ...

In fact, these ideas are good ideas and everyone will vote for. But little ideas but good ideas are hidden because can't obtain same scores.

We can vote "for" or "against" an idea. We could clic on a "too logical" button and if "too logical" have a important score we hide this ideas. A visitor could watch all ideas, but by defaut done and "too logical" should be hides.

There is no good DVD Authoring software available for the GNOME Desktop. Something easy to use but still powerful. See Apple's iDVD as an good example.

The app should provide a good media integration of other GNOME applications like F-Spot for Photo selecting or Banshee/Rhythmbox for songs selections, etc.

I can't add this to the bug report as it's technically not a bug. When you try to upload a file to a website that is expecting certain files such as JPG's and other images, a user will be unable to upload images if their file extensions case is different.

My wife actually stumbled on this, so here's an example based on her issue.

First step: create 4 files on the desktop:
test1.JPG
test2.jpG
test3.Jpg
test4.jpg

Now go to MySpace and log in /* you know you have an account ;) */

Now, click Add/Edit Photos, then click Upload Photos. You should be looking at a file upload app, currently titled Photo Upload - 1.3. Click Browse and browse to the Desktop. The dialog box lets you select *.jpg, *.jpeg, *.png, *.bmp, etc, etc, etc. If you navigate to the desktop you will see the only file you are able to select is test4.jpg.

Of course I knew why this happens but being that Ubuntu is Linux For Human Beings, the average joe computer user demographic that Ubuntu is targeting won't figure this out right away. And to top it off, most digital cameras create capital file extensions automatically (ie, DSC0001.JPG), and this happens with any site that limits uploads to certain file extensions, not just MySpace.

Before the dialog box lists the available files to upload based on the predefined file extensions, it should conduct the initial search for those files as case insensitive. This way, even though the list of files is limited to *.jpg, a user should still be able to see test1.JPG, test2.jpG, test3.Jpg, test4.jpg all in his/her list of files to choose from.

Compiz currently has issues with the screen resolution selector and other apps, that could frustrate newbies.
I think, since the default config should be the noob-friendly one, compiz should be off on default until the weird behaviour is resolved (at least on those graphics cards, that make it behave weird).
