CPU temperature monitor to the CPUFreq toolbal applet  
Written by wladston the 25 May 08 at 00:30. Global category: System. New
The CPUFreq applet for the gnome toolbar currently can only show you the clock for the CPUs.

I propose that it's able to also display the CPUs temperatures. It doesn't need to show the temperature by default, but it should at least have an option to view the cpu temperature.

The Weather Repot panel should provide a 5-day forecast  
Written by wladston the 23 May 08 at 02:04. Global category: System. New
Currently,. it only shows the actual weather status. It would be a great addition, I wouldn't have to go to a website to check the weather anymore.

This can be done like that - when the user clicks the panel icon, a list shows under it with the forecast for the next 5 days.

Firefox - offer to kill firefox instead of restart the system  
Written by wladston the 22 May 08 at 17:26. Global category: System. New
Sometimes, when I try to open firefox, I get this error

Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.

I propose to change that, including a button - "Close firefox now" :

Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process. [Close firefox now]

Be able to configure multiple keyboards  
Written by wladston the 18 Jul 08 at 02:38. Global category: System. New
I have a laptop with an english keyboard, that is also used on a docking station, that has a portuguese keyboard. Every time I change the "mode of use", I have to change the keyboard settings.

My idea is to detect with keyboard I am using, and use a proper configuration for it (en-intl or pt-br).

Pidgin Don't ask for confirmation when deleting an empty group  
Written by wladston the 14 Jul 08 at 05:51. Related project: Pidgin Internet Messenger. Not an idea
It doesn't make sense : "you are about to remove the group %name and all it's members from your buddy list, are you sure? " If the user emptied the group before, of course he is sure!

Undo or ctrl-z all the fields on Gnome  
Written by wladston the 26 Jun 08 at 23:26. Related project: Gnome. New
Most (or all) of the editable fields where you can put information aren't undoable. My idea is to always be able to ctrl-z any settings field you have just changed.

Don't show the fast user swith applet if there is just one user  
Written by wladston the 23 May 08 at 01:52. Global category: System. New
After all, it takes up a lot of space, creates clutter and it's absolutely of no use for people that got just one user on the computer.

Drag-n-drop a network folder should mount it locally  
Written by wladston the 19 May 08 at 21:48. Global category: System. New
When the user drags and drop a network folder from the smb:// locations, Nautilus issues an error. My suggestions - when the user does that, open the "connect to server" dialog and mount the network folder, creating an icon on the desktop.

Written by wladston the 4 May 08 at 23:05. Global category: System. New
When the user starts a file transfer, some information is placed on the information bar of nautilus, and a closable window show up on the screen with the progress bar and the cancel button (much like downloads are handled in firefox)
