Yes, but beta 1 is not that far. And we are risking again to have issues
on the package management side because of lack of testing.

Anyway, here's a list of what I don't think it's working in the current
(alpha1) implementation of YaST GTK software management module (posted
also on -gnome to answer to J. Ogley there):

      * Mainly lacking features in the gtk edition I can think to:

      * No versions shown in the list (you've to click on all single
        packages). This was solved in the first proposal.

      * No highlighting of newest/oldest packages (in the qt version:
        blue -> a new package is available, red -> the installed package
        is newer than what's in repositories). This was solved in the
        first proposal, using icons.

      * Highest number of clicks to do one task: 1 click to
        select/lock/update a package in Qt, 2 clicks in the gtk version.

      * It's quite different from the Qt interface, so it makes hard to
        support people for example on IRC, or to write general
        tutorials/documentation.

With kind regards,
Alberto
