enable hidpi by default

upgrade xfce-terminal to 0.8.0?
software/repo:
ensure the presence of google-earth and skype in repo/featured

============
cinnamon:
cinnamon slow to start after boot --> delay execution of appsys/docinfo until the DE is loaded
reconsider inhibiting onscreen keyboards (our keyboard doesn't do locales layouts and it's quite ugly)
ccc: wacom - when no tablet is detected, remove fugly frame around content and fix bt settings button not linking towards blueberry

Skip GVFS when possible
Provide configure button for extensions
ability to search string within files and open xed at line number

Roadmap
=======
implement an alarm clock
add a dictionary
install mp3 support without codecs?
xed: support opening at particular line number, like sublime does
nemo: ability to search string within files and open xed at line number
mintbackup:
place backups in .backup or exclude them by default?
need user confirmation before overwriting existing files
consider including some settings by default?
cinnamon:
settings: ability to enable hybrid sleep
ccc: wacom - when no tablet is detected, remove fugly frame around content and fix bt settings button not linking towards blueberry
menu keywords: looking for display in menu shows color first
consider: notifications stay on desktop until mouse is moved + a few secs
reconsider inhibiting onscreen keyboards (our keyboard doesn't do locales layouts and it's quite ugly)
ccc display doesn't always show screen ID windows
preferences > keyboard > custom shortcuts. Used with a Spanish keyboard layout. Recorded: crtl+number and ctrl+Shift+number (e.g. ctrl+1 and ctrl+shift+1 = ctrl+!) they are recorded correctly. When using the shortcut the command defined in the shift combination is triggered with just ctrl+number (i.e. ctrl+1). The complete combination triggers nothing (i.e. ctrl+shift+1 does nothing) and the comand defined in ctrl+number can never be used. This worked in 17.3.
track/troubleshoot shutdown sequence (user should know what is happening when shutdown isn't immediate)
nemo thumbnail error happens too often (too picky, does it always require root perms?)
cinnamon slow to start after boot --> delay execution of appsys/docinfo until the DE is loaded
track/troubleshoot vsync, compositing, unredirected windows and policy
menu: consider adopting this layout (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/The-Panacea-Projects/Gnomenu/master/Screenshot.png), same as ours/mintmenu, only better.

calendar events applet/desklet
multiple clocks https://github.com/simonwiles/cinnamon_applets
menu: use search providers to search local files
network applet: airplane mode (quick way to rfkill all)
network applet: https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/2746
nemo: retire computer:/// place (which is completely useless) or revamp it into something better
alt-tab and panel use icon provided by appsys, ignoring icon set by the application itself (example: a python window using widow.set_icon_name())
actions in panel launchers aren't translated if not present in .desktop file
sound: add an option to switch sound to HDMI when an HDMI output device is plugged
hidpi issues: top of mint menu is cut off in HiDPI (1920×1280)
gnome-system-monitor moves out of place in Expo
When using Cinnamon bar at top, and secondary monitor with higher height than the main display, some apps like KDE Apps (Krita, Kdenlive) or Wine Based Apps (teamviewer) will display menus from toolbar in the wrong place. Being more specific: The menus will be displayed in the position that they should be displayed at main monitor, however in this case the window is maximized in the secondary monitor.
Is there any reason why there are two names for the same item, eg. "Trash" and "Rubbish Bin"? Would it be better to standardise on only one name?
add gnome-screenshot to panel, right-click and select "Take screenshot of a selected area". This runs gnome-screenshot -a.. it should work but it doesn't. Is it because of the panel launcher capturing the click event or something?
In Nemo, right-click on "File System" -> "Properties" gives the details of the Home folder, not the File System, making it difficult to determine the overal disk space available.
In Nemo, if i select a new tab, the folder name that appears in the tab appears with a separation line underneath, separating the tab name from the list of files in the folder. This style of separation is onconsistent to XED, where the Tab name and content under that tab have no such visible horizontal separation line.
system settings modules should be singletons (only one possible instance) and have their window use their own icon (in alt-tab, and window list)

xviewer
make the position (left/right, top/bottom won’t make much sense) of the sidebar configurable (like the gallery) at least via dconf!
