As the Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex (8.10) development gets going, many people will probably be wondering what new end-user features they can expect. This article lists the top 5 new features. My Take: Nothing really exciting. I still shiver over the inability of the default Totem installation not de-interlacing my camcomder-derived home videos and DVDs because GStreamer doesn't support it, or no full A/V support on Pidgin yet, or something as simple as this which I've been asking for years now and it would probably take 5 minutes to implement.

Is that supposed to be a troll post? You give no argument at all, are you kidding me?
It's not hard to calculate the brightness of a colour and I assume GTK has some sort of alpha-blending capabilities for canvas/graphics context/whatever they call it (even if it hasn't; a function can be implemented within 20 lines of code).
Next time it would be nice to have a little more insight into why you "think" something is not feasible.
