BTW: Is it possible to remove the help window on the left on user behalf? Maybe pressing Fx toggles just the help window on the left, regardless in which YaST module the user is.
This (mostly useless) help window always disturbed me in the ncurses user interface since a Terminal has clearly less text space than a Qt GUI. (No, I don't belong to the group of people that use fullscreen terminals.)
I always wanted to remove the help window from ncurses UI since it only uselessly takes too much space :) But 'We need help texts to be visible at all times, poor user gets lost otherwise' people just shouted much louder than those who'd like to have it visible only when user requests it.
See this (quite heated) discussion: http://lists.opensuse.org/yast-devel/2007-06/msg00132.html
Hmm, I see only Rebecca saying, help is required (which is true, but she argues against self explaining dialogs not about having help inline) and Stefan, who I kind of convinced already in saying that I will argue with the people coming wanting to have it back. Seeing the list archive though I see more people wanting to get rid of it :)
I really don't like the (now very common) rule of deciding what do users want after asking them on mailing list. Most users, who are content or even happy with current status just don't react on such mails and do not write bug reports.
