Well, my two biggest wishes would be:

1) Undo (for when I accidentally delete my root panel :) )
2) Drag-n-drop for placed components (e.g. dragging a component from 
one panel to another - saves time with major layout changes).

and a more minor wish:
  3) An option to couple the save & generate source functions (In my 
usage patterns I find that I often save a radical project every time I 
generate the source).

and more of a future-release idea:
4) something to create menus/menubars (not quite sure about how best to 
do this though).

Some of these things may well be in the beta release already but I just 
don't know about it (I didn't spend too much time reading the 
documentation other than a glance through the quick-start 
instructions).

I may be available sometime soon to help add some of these features 
myself if it makes sense for me to do so (rather than you that is).  I 
read that Radical is now essentially a part of another project and 
realize that you may want to have changes made there first, and since 
I'm not familiar with that project I may not be a good candidate for 
that.  Let me know what you think and if you're interested in any 
Radical-specific help.

Thanks again.
