	System:
        Upgrade path from Mint 17.3

	cinnamon 3.0:
        upgrade issue? users reported dist-upgrade from Betsy vanilla to Cinnamon 3.0 removed the cinnamon package
        nemo: restore the ability to select files on the desktop by typing their name
		multi-monitor: add an option to suspend on lid-close EVEN when external monitors are plugged
		sound: add an option to switch sound to HDMI when an HDMI output device is plugged
		menu: search on non-accentuated versions (for instance, "method" should find mintlocale's im in French)
		hidpi issues: top of mint menu is cut off in HiDPI (1920×1280)
		gnome-system-monitor moves out of place in Expo
		when battery is very low, battery icon isn't red.. 2% charge, with less than 5 minutes to go, still not red.. bar is red in CCC, icon is red in notification.. but not in applet (and also not in the CCC icon itself either)
		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.
		hovering over notifications which have buttons/widgets should not dim them ...
		accessibility: ability to select files by hovering them
        menu: use search providers to search local files

    xapps:
        xreader segfaults when opening file->properties on a PDF


	gthumb tries to launch gnome-control-center when applying a background

Linux Mint 18.1

system
    consider adding snapd

cinnamon 3.2
    vertical panels
    retire boxpointers
    remove plug/socket in screensaver
    applets
        menu: adopt this layout (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/The-Panacea-Projects/Gnomenu/master/Screenshot.png), same as ours/mintmenu, only better.
        add a printer applet

mate 1.16
    swith MATE to GTK3
    switch mintmenu to GTK3
    sound events vs sound themes
    multi-monitor: caja doesn't always show the desktop on the primary monitor (using a laptop as main/left monitor, and HDMI screen with higher res on the right, it surprisingly ends up showing icons on the right screen)

libindicator++?

xed
    sublime-like search bar

mintupdate:
    provide a CLI (to let people upgrade automatically)

bashrc: # colored GCC warnings and errors --> export GCC_COLORS='error=01;31:warning=01;35:note=01;36:caret=01;32:locus=01:quote=01' (won't work until gcc 4.9)
