A few weeks ago we published an article titled "The Great Mac OS X 10.4 Wish List", detailing a few personal wishes for the next version of OSX. Later I learned that quite a few Apple engineers read the article and so it felt good that the time spent writing the article was not just a voice in the void. A reader emailed me a few days ago asking me to do the same for other OSes and DEs. So here is my personal wish-list for a future version of Gnome. Please tell us about your own Gnome wish list in the comment section provided.

Very nice article, Eugenia. I think you are right about a new cd/dvd recorg program for gnome, since it must be integrated with the file manager. But in general, I don't feel there is a need to have apps made with a specific toolkit. There is a need for more standards and integration.
BTW, did you check Craig Drummond excellent work on GtkQt?

It gives you theme integration between desktops: fonts and themes mathing, bluecurve, keramik, and others. Unfortunately, it only works from the kde panel to gtk, and not the other way around. It is a hack, not a standard. But, hey, in this sense, bluecurve is a hack too (making different stuff look the same).
Eugenia, I think you still could influence KDE 3.2 usability. Some changes that are considered usability bigfixes can still be accepted. So please, give us a well argumented and carefull analysis of KDE 3.2 beta2. (As you usually do.)
Cheers,
