Description of problem:
1. LIRC-GPIO kernel module cannot compile with distribution kernel. It's used
for remote IR control with bttv cards like AverMedia. As on
http://www.lirc.org/html/install.html is said: "Don't use any kernel sources
that have been modified for your distribution" and unfortunately, that's true.
PLD distribution provides this driver as an rpm:
ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp.pld-linux.org/people/jack/Ra+2.4.19/i586/kernel-char-lirc-gpio-0.6.5-15@2.4.19_2.8.i586.rpm
would RedHat be able to do that this way? I don't want to use vanilla kernels on
my desktop PC!
2. ee - electric eyes are used by mc (Midnight Commander) to open jpeg's. It was
present on rh7.x and then gone forever!
3. rarlnx - rar and unrar for Linux, many winpeople uses winrar to pack their
files. This also can be configured to work with mc!
4. jikes - present on rh7.x, nice java compiler still used by many programmers
5. H.323 (gnomemeeting) and Quake connection tracking modules for 2.4 kernels
(to use with NAT gateways), they can be found in patch-o-matic on
www.iptables.org, would be gread to find them (able to work!) on distribution
kernel.
6. Locking session button (applet) should be present on default bottom panel of
Bluecurve.
7. Floppy disk icon (used to access FDD by beginers) is present by default only
for KDE, should be also present on GNOME.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RedHat-9

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Install RH9

Actual Results:  Many tuning works must be done to work with it comfortable way

Expected Results:  Would be great to use these features in default distribution
