Cool there is now a Gnome version, but I wonder why not make a YaST module out of it.
Because that would mean starting up a large number of things that are not really needed at that point? As a matter of fact, I really like the fact that this is a very small application that doesn't consume so many system resources.
The icon systray could be added easily,
Hm - really? How would we go about to do that? Frankly, I'd hate to have a large y2base process running with everything that comes with it every time I log in. I'd simply get rid of that thing right away - for good. The nice thing of that applet is that it's small and unobtrusive. I would very much prefer to keep it that way.
and the table/tree should be made more flexible anyway. We would get both interfaces for free, plus we can make some hooks for the terminal easier
What kind of terminal (text mode) user would really want that kind of
application to be started upon login? And when and how would we do that? Only
on the console? Surely not with every ssh login and/or with every
xterm/konsole/$TERMINAL_EMULATOR_OF_YOUR_CHOICE.
I am pretty sure the vast majority of text mode users would not like that.
