Entire screen gets disabled whenever some application requires root password. This prevents from doing any other operation. It totally disables the desktop. You cannot do any other activity/task. It should allow to do other task while waiting for the root password. With Alt->Tab it should allow to use other open application or so. The screen should only "blacken" when Alt->Tab takes it back to the application asking for root password.

Do something that you guys think is fun, let your creativity run wild.

I dont know it is legal but very useful for new users..
But this extensions are:
- not enough translate...
- now not default

Add a "send Mark Shuttleworth on another trip to outer space" button to the ubuntu desktop. All this button will then do is open a paypal page in mozilla so you can donate your hard earned cash to send marky on another trip to space. At least this could be included in universe!

Since Ubuntu like to be an user friendly distribution, I can not understand why an editor like vi is pre-installed. VI should be replaced through VIM or an other 'easy to use' editor.

There should be an editor like edit.com from DOS, which is self explained.

If the Ubuntu installer detects Windows, it should copy Arial, Verdana and other standard Windows fonts into Ubuntu, because the user has the license to use them.

I guess everybody has experienced the rather long boot up times in Ubuntu (particularly with laptops). I know they are already working on it, but the change from feisty to gutsy was a pain in the ass in terms of boot up speed.
A default WinXP installation beats Ubuntu's boot up time by far!! That shouldn't be allowed fellas!!

I therefore propose to the development team (both Ubuntu and by extension Gnome)to work on the improvement of boot up times in Ubuntu systems.
