The icon systray could be added easily,

Hm - really? How would we go about to do that?

Just have a UI::OpenDialog flag for that... It would be then up to the frontends to implement it (which would be trivial in GTK; but I dunno if support for that is only available through KDE libs for qt...).

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.

Could this be really a problem? It would be idle the all time, and y2base seems pretty speedy at starting.

The nice thing of that applet is that it's small and unobtrusive. I would very much prefer to keep it that way.

It could be kept small. We don't need to use the Wizard and force some big size...

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.

Surely we could have it only really check for updates every X minutes, in a similar way to what the systray module would... And notice I mean it to just print a line. It would be up to you to fire the thing. It was just a thought anyway. Just seems like a waste of time to maintain two interfaces, for Gnome and KDE. Cheers, Ricardo
