These are the known bugs and the suggestions people have made regarding PowerShell.  
If you are interested in helping with PowerShell, feel free to take ideas from this
list, but make sure to look to see if I (or somebody else) already did it.

The ones marked with an asterisk are the most important.

BUGS:

  - Wierd window creation issue (creates it small then makes it big, which
    causes it to be created almost all the way off the screen sometimes) 
    (done - Matt Spong)
  - Sometimes running a program that doesn't exist causes problems.
    (mostly fixed - Matt Spong)
  - Fix resize bug (done - Matt Spong)
* - Related to the resize bug - when you change from a small font to a 
    big font, the window stays big. (anybody know how to fix this?)
  - Font dialog doesn't remember last font (done - Matt Spong)
  - powershell -e <program> now segfaults... :-( (done - Matt Spong)
  - Background execution of programs segfaults as well. (done - Matt Spong)
  - Terminal flickers when you move the mouse in a menu if the statusbar
    is hidden

SUGGESTIONS:

  - Variable shading level.  This will not be possible until either the
    maintainer of ZvtTerm adds support for it or I switch to another
    terminal emulator widget (Update - I had a conversation with the
    maintainer of ZvtTerm and he said that this is planned for the next
    version)
  - Use user's default shell.  (done - Sven Heinicke)
  - Ctrl-Tab to switch to the next term. (done - Matt Spong)
  - Fix configure script so it always works correctly. (done - Matt Spong)
  - Visual feedback when a terminal gets output (i.e. set the tab to bold)
    (Not possible until the new version of ZvtTerm is released)
  - 'Update' button in Menu Editor, so you don't have to add a new one and
    delete the old one in order to change an entry. (done - Matt Spong)
  - Allow renaming of term by right-clicking on the tab. (done - Matt Spong)
* - Needs to understand -geometry flag
  - Move "Select Font" from Edit Menu to Preferences dialog.
  - Make a non-Gnome version; we'll see about this.  I have to find a
    non-Gnome replacement for ZvtTerm.
  - Set fixed-step resizes like xterm does. (done - Matt Spong)
  - Configurable keyboard shortcuts (for example, Ctrl-L to cycle through
    all the Lynx tabs)
  - Different background images for each tab.
  - Ability to move tab to a separate window (and then rejoin them?)
  - Command-line program which will be able to set the text in the
    statusbar
  - Ability to run default term as a login shell.
