Apologies for replying out of order, but you know what I'd *love* to see?  A
"desktop developer" mode where every visible window had a button you could
click on that would tell you exactly what binary owns the window, what binary
package that is part of, what source package it comes from, *and* a button to
download (read: bzr branch :) the source branch for it.  Maybe even a button
to submit a bug report right there.

That way, when some bug trips my threshold of tolerance, I'd click on that
button to download the code and *maybe* just fix the dang thing.
