I thought it might be a good idea to have one big thread for all the small, mostly cosmetic suggestions.  This thread is for any suggestions that:
1) would probably be easy to implement
and
2) would probably be easy to live without.

In other words, minor tweaks.

I'll start:
Personally, I think boxes and bags should be separate on the stockpile>furniture options.  It would make it easier to have an empty-bag stockpile without needing to worry about some dorf filling it with useless boxes.

If you only want bags, it's easy enough to set the materials so that you include only "boxes" made from leather or any type of cloth. But yes, it's more difficult if you want bags and others stuff and no boxes.

+1 for this.

It is a major pain to look through all the bags looking for a coffer when building.

Besides, it makes little sense to have bags as build-able at all, as they are primarily used for storing seeds, quary bush leaves, sand and all kinds of powders. It is odd do mix containers of different uses into one menu.

For what it is worth, there was also a Reddit thread about this. http://www.reddit.com/r/dwarffortress/comments/2g4jtx/is_there_a_way_to_show_just_chests_in_the_build/.

The parade of creatures on world load should use the same graphics used in the game.  On non-GFPS-bound systems, the creatures could even stampede off the screen (leaving behind the poor giant sponge).
