I'd like to make a suggestion for an addition to the GNOME HIG, and
I'd like to know where I can do so. Would I file a bug in the Gnome

I'd like to suggest that the GNOME HIG recommend including clear
buttons next to search boxes that change the current view. I've
attached a screenshot of an example of one of these, from Mozilla
Thunderbird. When the user starts typing in the find-as-y
utton could be placed next to
the search box, it doesn't have to actually be in it. It's just that
in my example, it's in the box.

Nothing is stopping you from putting your taskbar at the top of your
screen. Gnome's panels are modular, so you could just move the Window
List to your top panel.

The current design of the Add to Panel interface in gnome-panel allows
the user to easily add launchers to their panel by moving through a

It seems that the default tooltip delay in GNOME is 0, meaning that
tooltips show up as soon as a button or menu item is highlighted. I
find this really annoying, and would like to know how to change this.
Is it in gconf? The default should really be c

Wow, yeah, that's an issue... I guess that what should be done is have
the "center on currently selected item" rule go away when the combo
box would have to be scrolled because it hits the edge of the screen.
Also, is there a maximum size for combo box

Probably the strangest thing about that situation is that it leaves a
large blank space under the last item.

I disagree, I think that if the options can't fit on the screen,
moving it down to display the maximum number of options is more
important than preserving the current position of the combo box.

I was copying a large folder, and I ran into an error with one file.
The dialog box had this message:

Sounds like a combination of a really long double-click delay (which
you can set in the mouse options) and OS X's method of getting a
context menu (hold down mouse button over an object).

I like it, but what about non-file clipboard things? What if I copy a
bit of text? I like the idea of having the text/file icon flash once
or twice. For files, Nautilus could highlight it in a different color
as the flashing. If flashing is going to be

They both do different things... I think that Sensitivity controls the
cursor speed when the mouse is moving fast, and Acceleration changes
when it switches off to the different speed... whatever they do, it's
unintuitive and should definitely be overhauled.

Actually, after more experimentation, it seems that my last message is
incorrect about the functions of the two sliders... and I've also come
to the conclusion that I'll never get my mouse settings just right
again. Yeah, this is definitely something that needs to be fixed,
UI-wise.

Try using the Keyboard Indicator panel applet... I think if you set
"Separate Group for Each Window" in the Keyboard Properties window, the
settings you set on the applet will stick to each window.

I definitely agree -- either use more sane defaults (small area shown,
less delay, and faster animation), or allow these options to be

Perhaps rather than an "undo" button, there should be a "revert" button
that reverts the settings to the way they were configured when the
dialog was opened, and perhaps a way of reverting the settings to the
system defaults... although that does add more complexity to the UI.
Some applications (Co
Don't forget that GTK programmers have the option to manipulate widgets
within dialogs as well as perform actions based on selections in the
dialog before the user clicks "Close". This may make the "undo" option's
utility vary depending on how the application is written to behave.

We have alt-f4 (as well as clicking the WM's close button), which waits
a little while for the application to respond, and when it doesn't, pops
up a force-quit window... it would be nice if it could detect
non-responding applications instantly, but that might be infeasible.
