I think it is useful to have a public Wish List.

So I put here some wishes adding two issues (item 4 and 5) to my 
previous list.

1. Modern font handling with full unicode support (now based on old xorg 
mechanism)

2. A mixer with volume control docked in the panel
     (now one may use pavucontrol. This is also absolutely necessary 
because it is not trivial without some tool,
     such as pavucontrol, to
     select microphone for communications (eg Skype); modern hardware 
has typically two
     microphones, one next to camera and a mic-in)

3. An easy  way to easily select/modify/display keyboard state (now one 
may use XXkb).

4. Add "multiple action support" and "default action" to the 
FileManager. Right click on an item must provide an
"Open With" submenu to facilitate fast switch of the app that opens the 
file. For example,
a pdf may Open with a default action (say acroread) but may also Open 
with xpdf/okular/evince
IF these actions are installed as CDE actions. So I am not talking about 
parsing the xdg menus
which people my not like. At least parse the installed CDE actions.

5. Fix the FileManager to scroll with the mouse wheel when the mouse is 
inside the window
(now it scrolls only when the mouse is above the scrollbar).

6. An easy way to theme gtk2 and gtk3 apps to match CDE themes (this 
includes major apps such as
     firefox, thunderbird, LibreOffice, inkscape etc) (this can be extra 
independent code). Number 2 above
     can be partly bypassed if one manages to theme pavucontrol; but the 
docked volume control is needed.

Antonis.

Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting. Employees who
bring their own devices (BYOD) to work are irked by the imposition of MDM
restrictions. Mobile Device Manager Plus allows you to control only the
apps on BYO-devices by containerizing them, leaving personal data untouched!
