Similarly to that question, I am interested in games coming out in 2012.

I'm using docky in Ubuntu 11.10 with gnome-shell and sometimes the notifications cover the dock. It would be great if the position of the notifications can be changed.
A partition of my internal hard drive (not the root partition) I want to mount automatically on boot. I've been using /etc/fstab to mount my external backup drive automatically read-only, so this is the first drive I've tried to mount read-write with fstab. Here's the relevant line:

I was installing updates in windows and they didn't download so it was aborted. then I wanted to switch to Ubuntu so I rebooted and when windows was shutting down it started to install updates and then it froze. I did a force shutdown and then it didn't start.

Gnome shell notifications for empathy conversations are really cool.
Problem
But after I contacted some one shell also shows me contact's online/offline status which is a) unneeded in most cases b) simply disturbing.

Will the update manager and the Software Center be merged into one in a future release? I think that would be an ideal thing to do, and I believe PackageKit does that.
The launcher in Ubuntu 11.10 has no concertina effect like it had in Ubuntu 11.04. Does anyone know how to enable this function?
Take a look at the picture to understand what is the concertina effect.

Here's an odd problem I've had for a while. Every so often, I find that I have several jpeg images sitting in my home directory that I didn't put there. I'm fairly sure this isn't a security breach but rather, there's something writing these files in there that I've forgotten about.
Here's what ...

Dragging and dropping a running application in to the Trash should quit the application and (if the app is locked to the Launcher) un-lock the application from the Launcher. If the action of closing the application triggers a warning (e.g. "this file has not been saved, are you sure you want to close", etc...) the warning dialogue should be displayed and behave as usual.

I just recently installed Ubuntu 11.10 (I've used older versions, but I'm still a noob), and (almost) everything works fine. I just want to know if there's a way to show battery remaining as a percentage, not as time remaining. The battery icon says Batter(0:41 to charge, but I just want to know ...
I'm use to not having to click on the battery icon to see what my battery percentage is, like on my Android phone. Is there a tweak/mod/hack to do this on Ubuntu 11.10?
It's great that the indicator applet tells me I have 2 hours and 12 minutes of battery left, or that it will be charged in 1 hour 8 minutes, but I might well change my pattern of usage during that time and am frankly not confused by percentages.
How do I make the applet show a percentage charged...
I don't know how to diagnose graphically. Hopefully someone else will add an answer addressing that.
