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.

Good article.
I agreed with the comment about window sizing and moving. That one thing prevents me from using Gnome at present. I like the way it looks, but I CANNOT use it if some of the windows are going to be larger than the screen with no way to move it around to get to the buttons (as with ALT-mouse in KDE).
This isn't a biggie, but here's another annoyance: I really, really wish Gnome would let you set different background images for the different desktops. Not everyone would prefer that, I know, but it should be an option. People like me who power-use different desktops for different tasks LIKE being able to set up each differently.
Finally, I agree that Gnome needs a dialer. But those who say that most people don't use dialup are mistaken; it depends on the region!! In some parts of the world (even here in the USA), most people -- the VAST majority -- still use a dialup PPP connection to get onto the internet. Many people CAN'T get DSL in the USA, where there are large, rural regions too far from a local exchange.
