In terms of mouse heat map maybe we could get people to use the rather
funky java based app "IOGraph" which tracks mouse movement and depicts
it graphically.

http://iographica.com/

I just downloaded it and ran it from the command line:-

a...@wopr:~/Desktop$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_18"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.8pre) (6b18~pre3-0ubuntu1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 16.0-b13, mixed mode)
a...@wopr:~/Desktop$ java -jar IOGraph.jar 

A window pops up in which there is a 'record' button. Press that,
minimise the window (if you can hit the minimise button without the
world ending) and you're set. Leave it running for an extended period
and try to forget it's there. No cheating now!

As an example attached is a woefully short image of my use over the last
8 minutes since I discovered the application. I was using google chrome
to read news mail and do a bit of tweeting. I have attached one image
with my desktop behind it and one without. The one with doesn't do well
because I have a big fat black terminal which makes it hard to see the
lines. Hence attaching both.

Perhaps (if Mark is in agreement) we could have a bunch of Ubuntu
community members run this for a day (or whatever their typical computer
usage pattern is) and submit their own images ?
