I whole-heartedly agree with Celeste. As mentionned before, you should
definitely have a full survey and not proceed questions by question; the
resulting stats will have very little value in the second case.

For example, consider the two questions "How old are you" and "Do you feel
you can work faster if the software allows it" (no matter how bad that
question is, it's just for the sake of the example).

If you ask your questions separately, you won't be able to draw any
conclusion from the results. However if you ask them together, you might be
able to see a certain age interval feels limited by the interface and not
the other; and from there you'd be able to investigate why this is the way
it is.

It is really important that you know WHY you're doing this survey (ie what
do you expect to learn from it). Once you have a specific goal in mind,
you'll be able to define a certain number of questions that all fit
together, instead of a pot-pourri of vague interrogations (for instance
"What would you change in Gnome 3.0?" - I'm assuming your survey concerns UI
design; imagine that people answered you with technical answers. What use
would that be to you?)

Good luck,
