Has used gnome since 0.20

Not much development for some years from me but has sent some patches/bugreports to the projects such as gtk+/gedit and so on....

Right now i have some ideas I want to share to others to make gnome desktop to be even better :-)

Add an GList *wnck_get_all_tasks() so to make it possible to write a better window switch dialog or even better add an wnck_tasks_listview_new() (or similar API)

An example for this is to make it possible to write a replacement for the windowmanager default Alt + Tab (optional keybinding)

GUI works like this:

user press ALT + TAB a windowchooser popup with all open applications: and the user can fast switch to another window by keybindings. or by clicking with mouse.

Key windowtitle

F1 Gedit - main.c

F2 terminal /home/xxx

F3 Glade - test.glade

F4 ...

2. GNOME(windowmanager?) must have a better integration with workspaces:

For example ALL gnome applications should have an option like this.

appname --workspace n (n=1,2,3 ....)

3. All applications should save there last windowposition.

4. All apps should default start "single instance display" and if user wants to start more instances add an option --new-instance

...

more to come
