Also installing packages tells just that is installing. It would nice to see what it is doing...

Also after when installing development tools like gcc git svn etc "Run new application?" message pops up with two monitor icons. The line next icon that should probably tell the name of the application, does not show anything. It is empty so no idea what applications it is suggesting to run..

Comment 3 RHEL Program Management 2010-04-23 10:20:38 UTC

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux major release.  Product Management has requested further
review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux Major release.  This request is not yet committed for
inclusion.

Comment 4 RHEL Program Management 2010-07-15 14:23:47 UTC

This issue has been proposed when we are only considering blocker
issues in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. It has
been denied for the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release.

** If you would still like this issue considered for the current
release, ask your support representative to file as a blocker on
your behalf. Otherwise ask that it be considered for the next
Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. **

The UI designers just wanted a global progressbar.

I'll mark this part of the bug as a dupe, as the core issue is a design feature, not a bug.
