Instead of giving yum command, we give them 1click install XML.

Handler checks if repo is installed or not, and then asks questions 
appropriate to situation.

Instead of giving "yum install compiz-fusion yada yada" we give them XML 
file, which contains SAME info and requires Fedora repo (could be done 
without providing repo RPM URL) and makes what user want.

Then handler should show info about repo.

If user wants 3rd party repo, he will install it anyway, even if it 
requires downgrading Xorg server etc (see FedoraForum).
