Look better, but maybe to wide for lower resolution like 800x600.

A little 'Left Margin' in the description textview, will make the text 
more readable.

The 'icon" in the right corner looks a little misplaced. use it in 
package view instead.

When using different searches and selecting multiple packages, the 
should be an easy way to see what packages there is currently selected 
(in queue), maybe adding a 'Selected Packages" under 'All packages' 
should do it.
