Might I suggest contributing to an already-existing free desktop project 
such as GNOME [1], KDE [2], or Freedesktop.org [3] (focused on 
interoperability and functionality shared between the two)? You might 
find the GNOME Usability project [4] useful as a venue to suggest design 
improvements to the GNOME desktop in particular.
