Here are this week's most popular ideas about Ubuntu. |

The installer should allow to skip the installation of a boot loader

(as far as I know, this suggestion is not version specific)
I'm running Ubuntu side by side with Debian on my laptop so I am capable of helping new users with Ubuntu-specific issues in the Danish Ubuntu-forum. However, since Debian is my primary OS, I would prefer to leave the boot loader in the hands of Debian, both under and after the installation of Ubuntu.
But during the installation of Ubuntu, after language and updates have been chosen and when choosing "Something else" as installation-type, one have to choose a place for the boot loader in the drop-down menu named "Device for boot loader installation:".

Мaximized windows in Unity should have names when previewed. In my work I often use multiply windows of the same program for various reasons. Now when I click on the app in the launcher when it's window is maximized there are previews but all of the windows don't have titlebars and names. It's really unproductive because when I'm editing sound files with Audacity for example It's very hard to find the exact window of the sound effect or file I'm looking for. Now Libre office shows only menus, audacity shows nothing, in nautilus if you open two different folders in different maximized windows you can see what folder are you looking at only in the tab's name which is very tiny and difficult to read
P.s
Sorry for the bad English but it's not my native language :)

Print Pages in Order

Whenever I print more than one page whether it is in Firefox or LibreOffice I find it annoying that it prints page one first, than page two, then three, etc. Because of this, when I go get my papers from the printer, page one is one the bottom, followed by page two, then page three. What I would like to see is the last page printing first(Say, page three.) Then the second page, then the first. That way they would be in order and I wouldn't have to rearrange the papers before stapling them. While this is a small thing, I think it would be great to see this fixed in Ubuntu 12.04.
edit: The "reverse" button in the print GUI is inadequate because it is small and it is also obscure in the bottom right of the GUI. The other main problem is it is not default. Have the reverse option default and then have the box or another option screen if someone wants to disable it.
