Here it is:

http://en.opensuse.org/YaST/Modules/Software_Management

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.

Moreover, 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.
