Improvements selected for the future
=====================================
Mint 17.2
---------
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
nemo: remove duplication between Eject and Safely Remove (for removable devices)
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)
Mint 17
-------
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
The add-apt-repository command doesn’t work with “gksu” and “pkexec” which causes various scripts that require this to break under Linux Mint 16 (Y PPA Manager tool for instance).

integrate workspace management in nemo, panel, window-list, applet, muffin, settings
Nemo conflicts with fcitx, the best chinese input method. I can’t rename anything in Nemo with fcitx.
Cinnamon isn’t scaling user defined panel sizes properly. If I select Numix as my theme and set a customised panel size, when clicking Allow Cinnamon to Scale Panel Text and Icons, the text on the right side of the panel bar seems to go a bit blurry. This didn’t happen on the last release. The update shield sometimes goes wonky too which I assume is related.
The power button set to “shut down immediately” still ‘asks’
The cinnamon-sound-applet’s icon renders incorrectly in i3wm’s system tray (it was fine with the version of cinnamon that shipped with LM16 and the same version of i3 (4.7.2)). I was able to get it working via brute force specifying the path to the icon, but it would be nice if it worked out of the box.
When trying to connect my ext.hard drive via smb when double clicking on the globe icon (workgroup) nemo closes down
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
Network setting does not let me to set Proxy.. The button “set system wide” is not there.

System Settings -> Windows: The options in the four drop-down boxes “Action on title bar double-click”, “Action on title bar double-click”, “Action on title bar right-click” and “Window focus mode”.
Language Settings: “Apply System-Wide”, “Install / Remove Languages”, the associated tool tips and all the text.
System Settings -> Network -> Proxy: The options under Method.
System Settings -> Graphics Tablet: “No tablet detected – please plug in or turn on your graphics tablet”
System Settings -> Software Sources: Text in Maintenance button
System Settings -> Fonts: Options in the two drop-down boxes Antialiasing and Hinting.
System Settings -> Applets/Desklets/Extensions/Themes: Blue text “More info” (right-clicking opens a menu that is translated)
System Settings -> Monitor: Options in the drop-down box Rotation
System Settings -> Desklets: The buttons Highlight and Remove (configuring a desklet).
l10n: Menu Editor: “Main Menu” (title bar), “New Menu”, New Item”, “Move Up”, “Move Down”, “Restore System Configuration”.
settings: The search box in System Settings displays “Search…” next to the magnifier.
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.
settings: mouse - The Cinnamon drag threshold and GTK drag threshold input boxes are not aligned to each other but appended to the end of the wording. They should be aligned as per other similar examples in the Cinnamon Control Centre.

As a Traditional Chinese user, the default font Linux Mint now using is pretty awkward, and even didn’t follow the hand writing rules and education standard.
