Description Karsten Weiss 2006-03-21 15:25:51 UTC
Description of problem: 
 
* How about changing the mouse cursor to a hour glass during 
  the searching to give the user a better visual indication 
  that searching is still in progress? 
 
* The searching is slow. 
 
* Shouldn't the window title and the About box at least also 
  mention the name "Pirut"? Both are currently set to "Package Manager". 
 
* When I start pirut from gnome-terminal in starts in the background 
  without focus (the same happens with pup). 
 
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 
pirut-1.0.1-1 
 
How reproducible: 
Use pirut. 
 
Steps to Reproduce: 
1. 
2. 
3. 
   
Actual results: 
 
 
Expected results: 
 
 
Additional info:

Comment 1 Karsten Weiss 2006-03-22 13:49:56 UTC
* Visual indication that the package search did not turn up any 
  results. 
 
* Do not exit the application after installing packages. Maybe the 
  user wants to install some more packages? 
 
* Dependency resolving is very slow. And during the process the 
  application event loop sometimes doesn't seem to process any 
  window refresh events for a couple of seconds. -> Application 
  looks very unresponsive.

Just FYI, this atleast is a metacity "feature" and nothing to do with Pirut.
There is another bug open in our bugzilla to turn this off.

One more thing to the list of annoyances:

* When one clicks the Search button, the text field should become active
automatically. Now it doesn't, and one has to click on it before being able to
start typing.

Please dont mix multiple issues in a single report. Every independent issue
requires a seperate report. You can post to fedora-devel list for discussions. 

Comment 5 Jeremy Katz 2006-09-13 18:27:56 UTC
The issues here that aren't addressed by other bugs that can be handled are
fixed in CVS.  If you have further things in pirut-1.1.13 or later, please file
them as independent reports.
