Yet another SOC 2010 project idea



Hello all,

I am a GSOC 2010 aspirant and have a project idea regarding GNOME development. I am writing this hoping that SOC mentors shall give me some feedback on the genuineness of the idea.
Well many end users of Linux still stick to the(I would rather say they love to) GUI as offered by gnome. But to every GUI app there is always an equivalent terminal app too, like for Rythmbox we have "cmus", for Network Manager we have system-config-network-tui. Similarly we do have alternatives for games. Thus the idea is to develop a port for every or many popular gnome apps so that users who may experience any problems in the GUI or just are intrigued to use terminal may click on the icon and open up the corresponding terminal app e.g  on the Title bar of Rhythmbox we may have  a small icon representing the terminal and as soon as the user clicks on it, Rhythmbox closes and gnome-terminal opens up with cmus running on it. That's all for the idea.

Any suggestion or opinion is welcome.

Thank You.
