Hi,

this sounds great. As you perhaps noticed students are encouraged [1] to
show their skills by contributing to the project before applications are
evaluated. OSGeo recommends [2] to do some bug fixing or implementation of
small features. You can even try to implement some smaller things from the
GSoC idea itself [3]. I selected some options which might be appropriate:

* Store legend, scale bar, north arrow and text (and potentially others
objects if added) in the workspace (ticket #2369).

* Add units to legend as parameter to d.legend. Optionally add also title
and description. Optionally also put units after each number, not just to
one place in title area as it is now.

* Add possibility to add any image to Map Display (as in Animation Tool,
`g.gui.animation`). Use cases are organization logo and overview maps
(insets).

* Add background color to d.legend. Currently the legend has transparent
background. Background rectangle should include all parts of the legend
including (possible) title. Additional features include rounded corners,
border and opacity settings.

You can select whatever you want but it should be something you are
actually able to finish soon. You can also browse through bug tracker,
components wxGUI and Dispaly [5, 6], to see other options to select from.
