6. OpenOffice - starts and works faster. (Why there is no default menu
item for Draw tool? It is my favourite)
Looks like it has been left out. File a RFE in
http://bugzilla.redhat.com
Yes, I will register myself and file this issue.
7. I installed FC5 with GNOME as desktop. After installation when I
try to install additional applications, yum always fetches from online
repos and mirrors. An option to add a CD/DVD as repository (as in
synaptic) will be a nice feature *** really worth feature ***. How to
vote for this feature in Fedora Core site?
This is already requested and planned for the next release. We need to
get some changes done in yum and pirut to support this.

Meanwhile you can configure a local repository yourself if you need to.

Yes, I am using vsftpd to configure my DVD as ftp repository. It works fine.
9. Power Management - Hibernate does not work. Can anybody help me in
doing it specific to Fedora Core 5?
Hardware specific. File a bug report with the output of lshal against
gnome-power-manager in http://bugzilla.redhat.com assuming you are using
GNOME.
Yes, I will register myself and file this issue.
10. Network Manager is awesome. I did not do any console based
configuration. My wired and wireless working fine with this tool. I am
able to switch between these two just like that.
11. Totem consume more CPU and also not stable - definitely we need a
good default multimedia player. ( I know that mplayer, xine and vlc
are there - I meant **default**. I don't talk about the proprietory
formats. I want open formats to be played efficiently and stable). Can
any one tell me why most distros keep totem as default?
We do test this specifically with open codecs. Can you provide more
details?
I meant to say **atleast** it should work stable for open codecs. I
have tested totem in various desktops and laptops. When compared with
other media players, it takes more cpu time and not stable. Is it just
me or like that only? Is there any specific reason for adhering with
totem for default media player instead of other media players?
12. Minimizing XMMS (borderless windows) causes restoring of all other
windows and flickering - waiting for this bug to be fixed.
Do you have a bug report on this?
Already n number of people have raised this issue. being fixed.
Thank you, Rahul for your support.
