I'd prefer to retain the existing screen layout for smaller screen real estate PC's. The chooser probably needs tweaking to allow two instances, and for a choice in the categories instance to switch the content of the right instance. (Or just the position). re: a search button. To do this, I suggest a pop up chooser with the search results, this needs the same multi-instance redesign of the chooser. > 2. the package windows does not need a horizontal scrollbar, because the > package informations are printed on the window bottom when selecting a > package, this reduces the needing scrolling operations to read the package > info. In short: The user does see more information at one time. This doesn't follow from what you described above. I presume it's a yast thing?
