Consider adding pipelight or freshplayerplugin (https://github.com/i-rinat/freshplayerplugin).
Consider porting cinnamon-bluetooth into gnome-bluetooth-frontend, for use in MATE and Xfce.

for non-english speaking people, it is not possible to change language, nor keyboard settings, when starting livemedia.
nemo:
remove duplication between Eject and Safely Remove (for removable devices).
[Can't reproduce] Regression in Nemo: Umounting dual-partitioned HDD freezes Nemo.
video thumbnails are blurry https://github.com/linuxmint/nemo/issues/825.
internet/network:
hexchat: implement PR for /etc/hexchat for distro to set default list of networks https://github.com/hexchat/hexchat; http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/hexchat.git/ (sney mailto:drubo@drubo.net).
safeguard against package removals (for instance, don't let users perform updates which would remove sensitive packages).
Upgrade tool, forcing people to click links is annoying everybody.
others:
kde: New icon theme / UI look and feel.
mdm: stopping the MDM service prevents access to the TTYs. Using Ctrl+Alt+F2 only works when MDM is running. Thus, there’s no way to run anything in a TTY unless the X server is running.
Can’t play TS video files.
windows compatibility layer.
pin base-files?
inserting live-stick, stick isn't mounted automatically in /media
After typing when the list of matches accidentally disappears (hovering the mouse in the menu while moving up) there is no way of making it appear again without retyping.
Please add a "delete selection" Button for the Search-Field.
Onscreen keyboard activates when clicking the menu on the panel because text entry is focused... if onboard is used, entry should not focus when showing the menu
hidpi setting should be in Displays, not in General
frequency in monitor settings
System Settings > Display won’t let me set the one on the right as primary. The “Set as Primary” button is grayed. It’s connected as DVI. The other monitor’s “Set as Primary” is not grayed. It’s connected as VGA. This is related to a very longstanding issue of Mint always opening dialogs on the left (wrong) monitor
regression, I can view the various wireless networks that are available and when I select one from the applet the Networking windows is opened. All networks are shown with a ‘play’ button (arrow). When I select a protected network (mine), symbol turns infinitely without connecting. http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=182608
Can the upstream fix maybe be included in Mint somehow? Commit at upstream Gnome is https://git.gnome.org/browse/network-manager-applet/commit/?id=c798c40c5dce3bc6d9b615621cefe59660b5a504.
if I press ALT+F2 and then enter “nemo ftp://ftp.mydomain.xyz” to access to my personal ftp server trough nemo, I’ll get a request of username and password: it’s OK. The problem is that if I select the option to remember forever the username and password, it will not have effect: if I reboot Linux Mint, the next time I’ll try to access my ftp trough nemo I’ll get the request of username e password. So… nemo doesn’t remember my credentials… it’s frustrating.
Entering the folder of long name , the path disappeared screen capture 1) it shows a folder of longname https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/54450962/%EC%8A%A4%ED%81%AC%EB%A6%B0%EC%83%B7%2C%202013-11-18%2002%3A18%3A19.png screen capture 2) entering the long name folder , meeting disappeared folder path of long name folder https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/54450962/%EC%8A%A4%ED%81%AC%EB%A6%B0%EC%83%B7%2C%202013-11-18%2002%3A18%3A34.png screen capture 3) But Actually It was still dsiplayed at max window https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/54450962/%EC%8A%A4%ED%81%AC%EB%A6%B0%EC%83%B7%2C%202013-11-18%2002%3A19%3A13.png
Create a thumbnailer in usr/share/thumbnailers for MimeType inode/directory – when you try to run Nemo, it crashes with the error: (nemo:9078): CinnamonDesktop-WARNING **: Error reading from file:///home/simon/Desktop: Error reading from file descriptor: Is a directory Installing cover-thumbnailer is an easy way to reproduce it.
nemo-preview (not installed by default), doesn’t work: http://pastebin.com/Uaci0mzC
1. Open nemo (unminimised) 2. Copy some files so that the transfer window is present 3. Open another program (unminimised) and in front of nemo such as firefox 4. If the transfer window is open (maximised) in front of the other program (firefox for example) and you click to minimise the transfer window, nemo will automatically pop up in front of the other program. Not a major bug but annoying from a window management point of view.
When trying to connect my ext.hard drive via smb when double clicking on the globe icon (workgroup) nemo closes down
If I disable the desktop icons with the first checkbox in cinnamon-settings the right mousebutton does not work on the desktop anymore…
right-click Run/Open with blah in nemo, on executable files
Feature request: if I create a launcher on my desktop, I can select an icon for it (with preview)… instead, if a modify a launcher in the menu with the “menu editor”, I can select a different icon but without preview. Can you please add the preview feature?
if I launch from a bash script nemo to open an ftp server more than one time, with a command such as “nemo ftp://ftp.xxx.xyz“, I can get a duplicate icon on my desktop, see screenshot: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/573922/Schermata%20del%202013-11-21%2012%3A25%3A31.png
cinnamon-settings: The search box in System Settings displays “Search…” next to the magnifier.
cinnamon-settings: mdm - The name of the login screen in the main Cinnamon Control Centre is different to the window when you open it (Login Screen in the main Cinnamon Control Centre vs Login Window Preferences). The names should be the same for consistency.
spices: removing extensions, themes, desklets, applets is only possible using right click (maybe it would be better to have button for that in future relases)
spices: If I select the radio box to choose an applet and then I’ll click the button to install it, the applet is installed but it’s not active: maybe a new user expects to have it immediately in the panel after the download… in fact forcing the user to come back in the list of the installed applet to enable the just downloaded applet is not user friendly, in my opinion.
spices: When I refresh the Applets cache, the progress windows does not appear correctly, it was just a tiny gray window in the top left corner.
keyboard: allow adding duplicate key combination for Cinnamon “Toggle Scale” and “Toggle Expo” (found these, didn’t go through all actions, most of them ok)
panels: Under Auto-hide panel consider aligning the two input boxes to each other (+/- milliseconds input buttons) but keep Show Delay and Hide Delay aligned with each other on the left side.
mouse/touchpad: an option to change the mouse scroll speed for the middle wheel in Mouse and Touchpad preferences
cinnamon-settings-users: add support for nopasswdlogin
cinnamon-settings-users: Creating a user without password (stupid but nothing prevents it): impossible for that user to set one himself in Account Details.
cinnamon-settings-users: In the “Users and Groups”, when on “Groups” tab, it could be great to have a way to see the members of a selected group and add new members to the group as well. Currently, we can only edit the group name…
screenshot filenames aren't handy (Screenshot from 2014-02-17 14:46:32.png)
In gThumb, select a picture, right-click on it, select “Set as Desktop Background”, once applied, click the “Preferences” button on the green banner that just appeared at the bottom of the gThumb window and you’ll get the error message “Failed to execute child process “gnome-control-center” (No such file or directory)”

Would be nice if the mouse preference panel in Mate included a “natural scrolling” option
Add sound effects like in Cinnamon
The MATE user admin program (mate-users-admin), when setting a user’s type to “Administrative”, does not add the user to the “sudo” group. The workaround is to explicitly add the user to the sudo group
‘mate-screensaver’ still as flaky as it was in lm15 MATE 64-bit. Set to ‘Lock screen when screensaver is active’ sometimes upon resume after suspend I get a prompt for my password, other times NOT.
mate-system-monitor under resourses doesn’t look great with the default GTK theme (need to give the notebook at widget class name or style name so we can make it flat in Mint-X, alternatively, we could try and make the cairo elements transparent)
mintdesktop: Use radiobuttons for marco vs compiz, with labels like "Marco (No desktop effects, compatible with all hardware)", "Compiz (Desktop effects, requires compatible hardware)"
iphones can't be mounted (need more info on how to pull this off and with which versions of iOS?)
Set the default debian repository to http.debian.net/debian instead of ftp.us.debian.org, which results in better performance for all users outside of the US
missing slovak language pack (something like thunderbird-l10n-sk) for Thunderbird mail client
gnome-terminal freezes Cinnamon in HiDPI (fixed by https://github.com/linuxmint/gnome-apps/commit/32e30807f98c8a5caf2cf16aedda608101cda4bc)
rfkill provides upstart config, but not init.d.. as a result RFKILL state isn't stored/restored
