• We don't have a yast2-kde yet, only a yast2-qt.
We probably should, now that we have GTK for Gnome folks. We could use KDE file dialogs, and we could push things like icons on buttons, tooltips, etc. Checked and Qt 4 does have support for system tray icons though.
• Using ycp takes away a lot of the flexibility in UI design. I really don't think anything like we have now is possible with ycp without doing a lot of changes to the yast toolkits which rather defeats any timesaving you might have.
I have only seen the screenshot. From it, it seems we need to obsolete the current table/tree by something more generic, which may be quite some work because it touches quite a few areas. I'm surprised people talk about the systray icon; that's the piece of cake part (if it weren't because the only way to change the icon is through the wizard, we might not even need to touch the API).
• There is a significant overhead to run the VM
I hear you. The Mono usage in Gnome makes me cripple. ;) I can live with Python because I can see clear advantages for both the programmer and the user (really nice to poke at its skeleton at run-time ;)). I personally never noticed any y2base overhead, but I have never done any profiling on it, so... Possibly its touching on the log files may suck at startup? (of course, we could fix it...) I guess the big point here: * The work is done. If it ain't broken, don't fix it. But if it ever gets broken, I think you guys should consider it.
The entire point of the applet is a small light thing to avoid having to keep running yast2.
Is it really an applet or just a system tray icon (supporting an applet in YCP would be tough)? Anyway, we can of course just have the little icon written in C and having it firing a YCP program at will, possibly even checking for updates through a YCP module too.
I like ycp as much as anyone, but I don't think it is appropriate here.
Maybe. I would personally like to see it stretched a little bit :) Cheers, Ricardo
