I have a few ideas that IMO would make Fedora more usable as a general
desktop and developer platform:

What? :

1. have gnome-terminal shortcut on gnome panel (as firefox and evolution)

2. have gnome clipboard manager installed by default (glipper gnome applet)

3. have /usr/sbin and /sbin in PATH for regular users


Why? :

1. because gnome-terminal is the second most used [1] application on
gnome desktop and this would make it more accessible for users.

2. because any desktop needs a good clipboard manager, it enhances
usability enormously.

3. I personally need it only for some commands - like /sbin/ifconfig
and /sbin/iwconfig are there any down sides to putting new /sbin and
/usr/sbin in every users PATH variable? What do you think is this a
good or bad idea?

Cheers,
Valent.
