The system services interface is not specific to yast-gtk [1]; all
tools will feature the same interface -- though the way its rendered and
some widgets may differ. The only specifics are the selector's step of
the package and patch management.
[1] compare it to the qt one:
/usr/lib/YaST2/bin/y2base runlevel.ycp qt

That can be done -- but Alberto voted against -- anyone want to make
themselves heard and uneven the voting? :)

In the package changes list that pops up once you press Apply, it
should show other packages that will be installed as a result, as nodes
(this may not be accurate though). If there are conflicts, you will be
asked to resolve them in a dialog identical to that of yast-qt.
But yes, dependencies aren't reflected while you're "playing" with the
packages. We probably want to re-code the storage model, and we will fix
that.
Cheers,
Ricardo
