I can imagine that the use case where people want to simply install an appliaction will be covered by PackageKit apps, while YaST will stay as an expert tool and there it would make sense to return to the package selector screen after the transaction. So, do we have a deal.
After installation return to selector, or /etc/sysconfig/yast2 variable: QUIT_AFTER_INSTALLATION="no".

Make the default ="yes" but the true power user can switch it to 'no' if he wants it to just quit like it does now.

I agree with the sysconfig setting for displaying the popup. This is probably the only way to support both groups of users...
I can add some more details to it, like overall status (OK/failed), number of installed/removed packages...
Any other idea how we could improve it? Is it OK for you?

As someone pointed out earlier, this doesn't even have to be a pop-up, even as implemented as a status disiplay within the sw_single module (or whichever) with the OK/continue buttons right in the module would be enough. The main idea is that the module shouldn't just "die" (from the perspective of the user) without an explaination and option to continue or exit back to the calling program as done. Any additional summary such as Nr of programs processed/installed, or number of errors detected if any, well, that would be useful 'gravy' but again, not necessarily requiring a pop-up and the root could define a sysconfig option of '0' to any value, eg, '-1' to get the never return without confirmation or any value 'like 120 which would display the exit status for that many seconds so unattended scripts/installs could proceed after that time. I think just one value, not a host of sysconfig values could control it all, and the use of a popup as the method of display can be whatever is easiest to implement that gives the desired action.
