I think making Task Navigator thinner would also require new theme.
Besides the TN graphics, the Desktop and titlebar gfx elements would
seem to depend from the current size.  The installed plugins also
expect at least a certain width into which their icons fit.

So, maybe the new feature would be to make TN width into themable
property... Then somebody could make a "thumbless" theme. ;-)

If anything, power management on the 770 is too aggressive. You'll know
what I mean if you've ever tried to SSH into it over a WiFi link.


Strange, this seems to work for me just fine in v2006. The other day I
noticed I was still logged in after weeks to the device. And also
logging in has no noticeble delay compared with other sites on the
net, only on local ethernet it goes faster.
I use the dropbear pkg btw.

So maybe more control over the various PM features would be nice.

All parts should go together without forcing. You must remember that
the parts you are reassembling were disassembled by you. Therefore, if
you can't get them together again, there must be a reason. By all
means, do not use a hammer.

Done already, check the power management and drivers code. Next?

-Having the posibility to navigate the whole linux file system from the graphical file manager (maybe inactive by default and activable through an option within the control panel or something like that)
Also with full gnome-vfs support, with the possibility to create persistent "mountpoint" for external sources (ftp://, sftp://, ...), maybe implemented as optional package installable via application manager. This feature is (except for the "mountpoints" part) already implemented in gpe-filemanager, but having it in the official filemanager would be nice.
