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.

One thing I like about Windows that I haven't seen in any distro is that the close button can be clicked on when your mouse cursor is in the absolute top right hand corner of the screen. I like the ability to haphazardly move my mouse there with a flick of the wrist, click the left button, and the window is gone. In all the distros I have tried (RedHat, Slackware etc), there is a gap of a few pixels which means you actually have to point at the button, rather than being able to just flick your wrist in its general direction.
I don't really know much about this sort of thing - is this something to do with the theme, the window manager or perhaps the DE? Would I be able to modify an existing theme to enable me to do this?
