While I work with the geda tools I keep a list of "warts and wishes" in a 
zim notebook. Just in case somebody comes along and asks what could be 
done... Yesterday I added:

• pcb wish: tool tips for the GTK-GUI

:-)

My other zim notes of yesterday: 

• pcb wish: A context menu on right click
• pcb wart: F10 opens the file menu rather than 
• pcb wish: The hole tool should be a mode of the polygon tool
• pcb wish: different modes for the arc tool --> center+diameter+angle, 
quadrants, center+tangent, ...
• pcb wish: filled circles
• pcb wish: user configurable tool boxes and elements.
• pcb wart: The color-file parameter in ~/.pcb/preferences requires an 
expicite absolute path. It does does not resolve "~" or "$HOME" 
• pcb-wart: There is no option --color-file to correspond with the 
parameter "color-file" in .pcb/preferences
• pcb bug: Neither the option --crosshair-color nor --cross-color 
influence the color of the cross hair
