- SimpleWelcome: recent documents are showed double
If you see the same file 10 times, you can see it in list 10 links. I believe this is not correct - SimpleWelcome: recent document, in the first page are not GOOD for privacy reasons
Mainly because thay have nice previews
Hypotesis, you have watched some xxx photos, and you find the icons in the menu: What a shit figure...
but apart all that, is not a GOOD thing letting others know what you have recently watched, on a professional workplace I mean, and then:
Recent Documents must be cleaned, or at least users must have an option to clean it- Approved/Fixed: see the little broom near "Recent Documents"

I've tested the most widespread gtk programs, and in the most of them icons are fixed, only
- gkrellm
- Eterm
- Xsane
are still showing ugly icons in the SimpleWelcome menu" - VERY SERIOUS
Network profiles are still missing from MCC and there is not a valid replacement
a "Premiere League" Distro CAN'T miss that feature! - It's very very important... - Kickoff has not an icon in "Add objets"
- SimpleWelcome: if the same program is present in more than one menu categories, it's listed more times in the applications menu.
Nobody wants to have the same command in different menu categories.
You could have Kppp in Internet and in Tools in SimpleWelcome, because the categories are no more present, you would find this application listed twice - GoogleEarth has orrible fonts, that hit very much with the overall aspect
The antialias in the GE fonts is an unresolved problems, but in other distros looks better - A way to switch off ROSAsync start without removing its rpms

I find useful the presence of a default wm very light (icewm/xfce?) alternative to kde - some users are complaining problems burning optical supports with K3b:
it seems that writing ISOs with K3B often does not close correctly the writing

Drakboot doesn't work with grub2. We should drop it in the final release.

official platform yet. You can find it in Vladimir Testov's repository:
https://abf.rosalinux.ru/icedphoenix/grub-customizer
A. Kazancev promoted grub-customizer in /main > now "urpmi grub-customizer", and you have it

It would be nice to have the possibility to install Rosa 2012.1 as as guest OS in a VmWare Workstation 9.0 or VMPlayer 5.0 VM. - "Your favorites apps": from Rugyada & Azioga > viewtopic.php?p=20153#p20153
Rugyada (and Dago68):
We would like to have "Your favourite apps" in SimpleWelcome
(in main window - first tab)
We suggest action like: right click on app icon > Add to favourites.- Approved/Fixed: see the "pins" viewtopic.php?p=20459#p20459
Maybe there is a reason why it is called SimpleWelcome
I too would like it was not so Simple.
I think that "recents" have not to be in the opening menu, but in a separate tab.
so we would have 4 tabs (Welcome/Applications/Recents/TimeFrame)
Thanks for Your attention.
If I will find around other useful suggestions for ROSA Desktop 2012, I'll add to this topic
