I'm thinking about an easy solution => What about creating  
"yast2-<module>-installme" packages?

Those "installme" packages:
1) have a "dimmed" icon (and desktop file) for the section where the  
normal module will be installed
2) have a special desktop file which lists them in your "Not Yet  
Installed" section

The normal "yast2-<module>" packages will provide/obsolete their  
corresponding "yast2-<module>-installme" packages.

The "installme" packages should be very small as they just have a  
desktop-file and an icon-file and should be recommended by one your  
new yast2-not-yet-installed module (or another yast2-) package which  
is recommended in the yast2 pattern.

As result, you should get the best of both ideas - dimmed icons and an  
extra section for non-installed modules and the possibility for  
"experts" to skip the whole stuff.

With kind regards,
Lars
