I tried what happens in my F19 if I click a torrent file without having Transmission installed. I was asked whether I want to search for a suitable application, I confirmed. Then nothing happened. I waited 10 seconds, then I clicked the torrent file again. No further dialog. I assumed it's broken, but after two minutes a PK dialog popped up. I guess it was downloading the metadata 50kB/s or something, but no progress was displayed anywhere. The dialog is rather bare:

Just out of curiosity, is this going to improve in F20? Is the new app lookup going to be performed by the AppInstaller, with all the new shiny stuff, rather than plain PK GUI?

Thanks.
