Some bugs:

1. "xxxxxxxx is currently involved in a match against someone else." IGS 
message  Does not close the match requester in question.

2. Sometimes when I play the stone cursor (the circle inside a stone) 
disappears when I make a play on the edge of the board. This happens at least 
when I play white (I rarely play with black, so can't tell if the same happens 
there).

3. I was just playing two games at the same time (by accident). I didn't 
actually play the other game as it's not really possible for me to concentrate 
on multiple games at the same time. Anyhow, I lost the other game on time and 
the client thought it was actually the game I was really playing where I ran 
out of time. Not good. 

Ideas:

1. In some places you have a gadget with which the user can select the size of 
the font used. Why on earth you've spread gadgets like this in different 
windows - such gadgets belong into the preferences window as it is very rare 
that for example font size is changed.

2. When I lose I'de like to hear a toilet flushing sound. And when I win a 
fanfare. Or actually I'de like to be able to define the sounds by myself.

3. The X, O and ! are really unintuitive. Artwork instead is needed. This is 
not urgent though.

4. Again, I push for the user-list even though it means rewriting part of the 
code. With a user list the users of gGo would no more ask me to play with 
ridicilous time limits as they'd see I like 1/5 only. I actually don't use the 
current player list at all as it is almost useless - it is too much work to 
find a suitable opponent through it - instead I use the command line to get the 
user list and also I make my match challenges using the command line interface 
and this is IMHO a bit silly when a client does have a GUI. (I'll try to avoid 
mentioning this any more as I know I may already be a bit irritating regarding 
this issue).
