One more reason for us then to make sure everything a user might want to select is in comps.xml, isn't it?

Note that this is only from 0.3.3 on.

/me looks at rawhide and finds 0.3.2

/me grabs 0.3.3 straight from koji

/me fails to get it to work on F9 (likely my fault) :-/

Updating yum as well did the trick.

Hmm. From the screenshot it's hard to see if gpk-application exports the package groups from comps.xml similar to how pirut/anaconda do. But seems to be different, which would be a important detail for the decision how to maintain the comps.xml in Fedora...

Seems to be way different. In pirut/anaconda you in F9 for example can select the group "GNOME Desktop Environment"; then you can hit the "details" button and select some more packages from the gnome group or deselect some other you don't want. Seems that's not possible in gpk-application right now. Not sure if it should, but that's quite and important detail when if comes to the "how to maintain comps.xml properly" question.
