This is what I want:

I want to be able to mark applications "Not Compiz compatible" so that Compiz shuts down when I launch a game or some other 3D-heavy application. This is something I want to improve stability and performance for such applications.

This idea is about improving the nautilus file manager to allow for editing of metadata of files without launching a separate application.

It's not just about id3-tags on mp3's but also documents, images, videos, etc.

I think this could be a great addition to Nautilus, and make the overall user experience a bit better.

Could be implemented either as a built in feature or as a plugin.

My idea is to implement some functionality to be able to change owner of a file/folder using "Properties" under right-click of a file/folder. As it is now it only says "You are not the owner of this file and can't change permissions" (might differ depending on language, this was a rough translation from Swedish). I would like to be able to change owner of this file/folder and have policykit or gksu ask for permissions to do this if I'm not already root. Sometimes I fiddle around in console and leave stuff on my Desktop that isn't owned by my user account. This would be a nice solution to my problem, and any other problem which involves changing owner of file/folder.

Now that I think about it, I think the same could be applied if you try to empty your trashbin and you get errors because some files were owner by another user.

Amarok has had support for mysql and postgresql for some time now, and it's only fair that we get that for some gtk-jukeboxes too. I would like this to be implemented for Rhythmbox or Banshee, or, if there already is a competent gtk-app that does this, implement it by default with easy setuptool.

This is an idea for a compromise that might make all those people happy that want some extra functionality added to nautilus right-click actions.

How about a simple GUI where you can check the boxes of the actions you want to access using the right mousebutton, and also sort out the order of the list to your liking.

This is what happends to me sometimes when I forget to clear the gnome-settings after reinstalling:

I get tons of error-messages complaining about this and that panel-applet that couldn't be found. Also the theme often looks strange, because I like to theme it a lot, and the themes aren't always still there after reinstalling.

I would like a simple little script that checks for all the parts of the currently selected theme and resets it to default if it can't find all the pieces.
