In addition, there is not reliable solution for suspend/hibernate, especially from X. There still some way to go for X and the kernel to get to there. > * Installing all (free) codecs that are commonly used by default in the > > > Desktop task (FAAC is one that comes to mind as one that could be added, > > as it is in main now) > > A good idea, but this might swell the CDs beyond what is desirable.

The default for GTK is Bitstream Vera Sans (or > clone), which is perfectly good. Emacs22 for sure. Even the GTK version uses the ugliest fonts available on the system for the tool tips. I don't know if this is normal for GTK2 applications. And those words from a happy emacs user that prefers "emacs -nw" (and is happy with that because of the inability of the emacs guys to provide a modern GUI). Although GTK libs are installed, it is unknown to me how to change GTK's fonts. Is there a manpage about that: I doubt it. A program to set all possible settings for GTK programs like qtconfig for QT: didn't find any. And maybe one to rule them all so I only have to define font setting exactly once without caring about the toolkit? > * Simplify installation of out-of-tree kernel modules, possibly by adapting > > > Ubuntu's Restricted Manager to work with m-a.
