Yep, that's why I've closed the bug WONTFIX a bunch of times in the past ;)
I honestly *don't* have a great answer aside from "take out
interactive package selection altogether". But that continues to
prove unpopular.
If you disliked my first suggestion, you're probably going to hate this
one. But here goes.
The task list is already represented by a gtk.TreeView. What if we
therefore change the UI around a bit to look like the following:
+------------------------------------------------------------------+
| The default installation of Fedora includes the following set of |
| software: |
| |
| [X] General Internet Usage and... |
| [ ] Desktop |
| [ ] Office/Productivity |
| [ ] Web Server |
| [ ] Whatever Else |
| |
| Please select any additional blah blah blah |
+------------------------------------------------------------------+
Then of course everything under General Internet Usage is conditional -
if you don't check the box, everything else is greyed out. That to me
makes it pretty clear that you don't get one without the other. Of
course, it makes the task code a bit more complicated.
From a UI pov I really dislike this. The single list with checkboxes
is much more user friendly IMHO. If my mother sees a treeview she starts
screaming :)
Have you asked Mo about this ?
Regards,
Hans
