Here is what i propose:
Lets leave the replies to people who is answering the questions.
Every time a new question is posted here I will add it to the first post if there is a answer that i know of i will add a link aside the question.
I will appreciate if other "Askers" edit their post and remove it once i have copied their question to the first post...
that way we dont have a clutter of back and forth replies that in many cases go stray out of topic or aid the general confusion of puppy noobs (like myself )
Everyone!
If you dont agree please refrain from flaming me here... (yes to avoid polluting the thread) i am available 24/7 on PM to be flamed and even insulted

Key mapping:
where can i map keys system wide and not dependant of the WM ?
how do <fn> are called for mapping ?
same applies for the <windows> key ?
Gtkdialog:
How can: Create a dialog that shows a cancel button and waits for 10 seconds if no cancel was pressed it does an action (reboot in this case) wmreboot
Desktop:
Drive Icons
They can be moved but if disconnected / reconnected they reappear on the bottom left of the screen (sometimes obscured by wbar if it is set to bottom)
Is there a way to have the move to be persistant or to ask puppy to create them somewhere else in the screen ?
Desktop Icons in General:
Moved desktop icons go back to their original position after restart or pet install.
Being obscured by Widgets in many cases
Screen size seems to matter:
Some dialogs open bigger than the screen in sublaptops is there a way to implement either scroll bars either avoid the dialog going off limits ?
Start menu
Is there a simple way to edit the menus? that goes system wide independant of the WM used ?
Start applications minimized on IceWM
Tried windowoptions file in /~/.iceWM to no avail.
Is there a system wide way independant of the WM ?
Like UBN that starts chat and mail client minimized to tray on startup ?
Windows viewing
Snap windows to borders or tile them in desktop
like vista new feature...
nice to have: current window shaking minimize all other windows
