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.

I think there is no way to turn off the minimizing animation in Metacity except patching a source file. You can compile from a tarball or source RPM. Edit src/window.c and comment out or delete this:
/* Draw a nice cool animation */
meta_effects_draw_box_animation (window->screen,
&window_rect,
&icon_rect,
META_MINIMIZE_ANIMATION_LENGTH,
META_BOX_ANIM_SCALE);
I do the same thing to get rid of the beep in GDM. It's too bad the developers can't give us a simple preference to disable annoyances like these.
