Well, FYI, the purpose of that particular column in the UI at the moment is 'is the package installed'. The icons used are pretty bad, and the whole UI is very much up for debate. I agree with you that there would be some value in adding the icons. But the implementation is non-trivial. I think the first step would be to get an 'icon' field added to the package metadata files that yum uses. However, if the icon field is the actual .png data, that makes the metadata files much bigger. If the icon field is a name or label, then that label has to match something already on the system. It wouldn't be useful for packages that aren't installed yet because the icon data is...in the package. So, I agree that it would be better, but it's non-trivial to do. -RN -- Robin Norwood Red Hat, Inc.
