Hello; after being angry _again_ that I have to jump through hoops in
order to get useful info about preciseliy _which_ packages have updates
waiting, I just wondered whether the opensuse-updater-applet for GNOME
really is supposed to remain in its current state.

My minor complaint about it is that if I want to know which recommended
and mandatory updates are waiting, I have to wait for yast to update all
repositories _again_ instead of the updater showing me right away what
it already 'knows'.

My major complaint is that there is absolutely _no_way_ to find out
which 'additional' updates are waiting!

The update-manager thinks it is none of its business, and the
package-manager doesn't know how to display updates at all... So a user
needs to know how to use zypper, or use SmartPM for that; not good.

Sorry, but I feel a little bit disgruntled that the KDE-applet is simply
SO much better.

Yours,
Chris
