Actually, I think SuSE has their update/install tool (yast) organized in a
menu fashion, so that you're able to "browse" uninstalled, available
applications and select for installation.
This could be mimiced in gnome-vfs (or kde io-slaves) below an icon
"Installable packages", "Available software" or something like that, with rpm
organized by rpm groups (Applications/Multimedia and so forth).
A package would be prestented as Name (Description), and when double-clicked,
a window showing the description and size would be showed. Two buttons,
install and cancel, and an "advanced" tab showing file listing, dependencies
etc.
Well?
