In order to design the Yast-GTK package selector
YaST -GTK?? Ummm... is this to be an alternate or a full on replacement for YaST-QT?
I seriously hope that SUSE/Novell isn't doing what this sounds like.... GTK is a disaster. It's a mess when it comes to UI design and usability. Not to say QT is perfect, but it's a whole lot better than anything I've ever seen or used that was GTK based.
Please... please tell me I'm inferring the wrong thing here. SUSE has dropped the SUSE Watcher in favor of a broken Zen/Run/GTK mess, and now... this?
Gnome designers are very busy "simplifying" the UI... at this rate, in 2 years Gnome will be a big red button that you can press that is labeled "Do Stuff". Don't relegate the SUSE tools to this universe too...
YAST GTK is a Google Summer of Code project. So it is a technical experiment. YAST will keep QT and NCURSES frontends of course. And everyone one, who expects YAST GTK to be faster then YAST QT should just get a big fucking clue. It will just look different.
