Because I spent too long on the lottery machine yesterday...

One of the big advantages of open source is that if you don't like something you can fix it, or pay someone to fix it for you. So, if you'd won the Euro lottery (£117 million), what little "quirks" of your favourite distro or software would you pay someone to fix?

What projects would you donate to?

While I've got almost no personal complaints about hardware with linux, things have progressed at this point to where it's been a non-issue for me recently, I think putting dev time into hardware support would not go amiss. It's probably the single biggest complaint I see.

I'd also like to see a really nice fiction/novel writing application for linux. I understand there might be a beta version of Scrivner floating around, and would be fantastic, but some nice native software would make me happy too. (Written in Java doesn't count, usually, I've written dekstop Java, we've agreed to disagree, and I avoid the hell out of it usually.)
