Make Ubuntu sticker to put over top of the Windows/Apple key on keyboards.

People who switched would not be made to feel guilty or dirty about using that key. They could be made and sold very cheaply and increase evangelism.

Also, that key should be supported by default:

Why do I have to restart when changing my monitor resolution?  
Written by travis the 2 Mar 08 at 16:02. Category: System. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
And also, why do my mouse settings get reset when I change video drivers?

I have an AGP Radeon 9600XT 256MB, and every time I change resolution it doesn't take effect until I restart. And it strangely keeps reverting from 1600x1200 to 1280x1024. My second monitor settings never seem to work correctly either.

I know this issue is specific to at least ATI drivers, but it might just be Radeon-specific or at worst I guess it might just be me.

Why do I have to enter in the root password when mounting NTFS volumes?  
Written by travis the 2 Mar 08 at 16:06. Category: System. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
I can see entering it in the first time (maybe), but I don't think it's necessary to ask for it after every reboot. I keep all of my music on a separate NTFS drive, and it basically makes all media players that have a built-in media library useless because the library gets reset unless I open the drivers before launching the app, resulting in a very painful re-cataloging process.
