One thing I've been really wanting to do for awhile (and even moreso 
after switching my main desktop to Linux) is take Programmer's Notepad 2 
(a windows program, but very lightweight and very nice) and try porting 
it to D+Qt (or maybe libui if it gets a Qt backend). Although I don't 
know how realistic Qt on D in right now, and I haven't been able to 
justify the personal time & energy investment, even as much as I'd like 
to :( Just can't find a linux editor I like as much as PN2 :(
