I was thinking, "Gee, wouldn't it be neato if I could right-click an application in my gnome menu and pick Remove", which presumably could spawn off the package manager with the related RPM already selected.. I have no idea where a feature request like that should go (gnome? Fedora?). But before I look any further, is that a crazy idea or would anybody else like it? I figure newbies aren't going to know that menu item X relates to package name "Y".
In theory, the idea sounds rather natural and user friendly. I'd be a bit worried however that it is possible for a single package to install many individual programs which each have their own icons, of which may be spread around the GNOME menu structure. In this case, right clicking on one GNOME app and choosing to uninstall it, could end up uninstalling many more things than the user may have anticipated, including perhaps things that they did not want to uninstall. It's definitely a neat idea worth discussing however, as this theoretical problem may be solveable in an equally user friendly manner. -- Mike A.
