Lots of brushes in /usr/share/gimp/2.0/brushes by default. It's really annoying having to browse the web for hours just to find some interesting brushes. I'd like to have a bunch of'em (maybe even a 100 or 1000) by default :)

May be what I am asking is a bit weird, but I would want a switcher button which will switch the display to black & white and then back to color to reduce eye fatigue. WHY? and Why not? While working in a text editor or word processor or even internet / email we do not require color display always coz it wont matter. As we are working for more then 10-12 hours and use computer for maybe 6-8 hours constantly it will be a good idea. Now take for example : I start working on a draft of say 20 pages and it will take 2-3 hours to type and edit the document, if in black & white it will create less pressure on the eyes and when finally i need to see any colour, a switch will get the display in full color.

X Lite (Gnome Lite?) Light Windowing System

This design would be for ultra-low spec systems. Examples include theoretical touch-screen digital media players running a form of Ubuntu. This sub-ubuntu would have a different selection of apps because of the way the system works. The X Lite (i am uncertain if it would be X Lite or Gnome Lite) would have Gnome running. In order to preserve system resources, each app would have both a full mode and a lite mode. When the lite mode is activated, the window draws a minimal representation of its contents (one that is blurred, like a reduction in polygons within 3d games with objects that are at a distance). When in full mode they would draw themselves entirely. When the user clicked on a window, it would zoom to fill most of the screen. When they clicked outside of the window it would zoom back to show the whole desktop. While a window is zoomed it would draw in full mode. If the window is not zoomed it would draw in lite mode. Existing apps, could be run in theory... but they would use tons more resources by drawing in full mode the whole time. Existing apps could be transitioned into the new system relatively easy though. If this was done it would create a system which could rival that done by Apple for the iPod Touch. Also, Category
X Lite run on old hardware would enable the user to run a more modern setup, without the performance hit.
This Ubuntu Lite (obviously running X Lite) would have its own repo of software compatible with the X Lite standard.
In particular this would be for an Ubuntu Digital Media Player (that could be made by Canonical and made on a per-order basis). It would be great to have a DMP by Canonical running something like X Lite. X Lite would mean you have full desktop capacity with little to negligible resources. Please vote up on this, if you vote down... at least tell me why. Imagine a Digital Media Player that doesn't require Windows or Mac (or Wine)! This DMP if done correctly would be cause for many people to look into Ubuntu. the iPod certainly helped Apple (as advertisement).

Graphic tablet configuration applet

Although the wacom driver is installed, the practice of configuring the driver is nearly impossible for new to moderate users.
With so many graphic professionals turning to linux for both stability and price, wouldn't it be easier to include an application that helps these people adjust stroke pressure and properly set up the eraser?

Hi
Both with Intrepid and the last version of Janty there isn't an official scanner program.
I think it's a bad thing to have a system without that kind of program.
Kooka is out of KDE Graphics (July 13, 2007) because it's not developed anymore and it's still with kde3.
I suggest to use skanlite.
Thanks.

Thinner bookmarks bar in the toolbar in Firefox

I run Ubuntu on my laptop. The screen is small and therefore all space on the screen is precious, especially when I surf the web.
One thing that bothers me about Firefox in Ubuntu is the bookmark toolbar. It is unnecessarily thick. It's much thinner in XP for example. It's only a bunch of little icons and some text, there's no need for it to be as big as it is.
You can easily cut a few pixels off to get more web space and better looks.
A way to customize how thick it is in Pixels would be great!

Dolphin - show free space

In the last version of Dolphis has been changed the feature to show the free space on hard disk and has been putted the fetuare to increase/decrease the icons image.
My suggest is to have an option in Dolphin where you can choose if you want to see "free space feature" or "set icons size feature"
The default option should be "free space feature" because we can set the icons size in many other specific windows.
