I'd like to add my voice to having gcm in the package: I miss klipper! It's one of the most productive tools I used. Beyond that -not been very up on the technicalities- how possible would it be to get SynCE added in, if not to the distribution, at least into the universe? It's great that evolution is palm-friendly but those of us who have ipaqs and the like [mitac mio in my case] are probably not an insubstantial client-base either [and if anyone then had an easy way to turn the thing into a linux handheld I'd be there!].

I noticed that when you upgrade (or update) the kernel, mainly because of some security issue, you need to reinstall the Nvidia drivers in order to load the X windows.

The average user wouldn't know how to do this, so maybe we could add some way to reinstall the nvidia driver when first rebooting into a new kernel

Maybe this could apply to ATI cards, but I don't own any of them.
