How about pervasive ssh support? I have stuff spread all over my various systems, and access to them would be great.
Also, real contacts. Phone, email, address, etc.
Printing support? Printing to a network printer would be nice.
How about the ability to bind any keysyms to buttons on-screen (I'm looking at *you*, xterm!) and on free on-screen keyboard keys.

Snapshotting / 'Time Machine' for Maemo, so one can play and screw the OS while not being without a phone for too long.

Don't know if it's already in but I thought about it in the Maemo 6 UI Framework thread.
A mouse like option in the entire OS, not just in the browser.

Is there anyway to "overhaul" the keyboard software? Not just to modify it to make it more user friendly, but to be able to extend the functionality quite further than that (the existing solution seems somewhat limited/difficult to modify for a beginning user).
Things that would work excellently for a new keyboard system:
- (as mentioned previously): profiles, which could be saved and activated/switched to with a taskbar app
- drag and drop keyboard rearranging support
(just drag keys to new locations/remove keys you don't want/add keys you do)
- extensive themes, not just for aesthetic purposes, but also for user personalization
(eg. a user is used to the android/ipod/any other phone onscreen keyboard could get a "theme" that just reorders the keys and changes the look to match the keyboard they are used to). This would help the user feel at "home" with the device much quicker than having to readjust to how to type on the n900.

NILFS, rather.
Instead of Time Machine with its GUI and backing up of personal data I mean something like incremental images. They can be made every X hours, or before big changes (manual by user, or auto by e.g. APT). ZFS snapshotting or ODS-2/5 versioning filesystem provide one part of the feature. The boot loader would then simply allow one to use the snapshot (or previous version if was primary at $date_of_snapshot).
I don't know how many resources (or how much time) this would cost. On battery, might no be preferred.
