Things are shaping up nicely!

Two things I noticed in DrakX:
While packages are installing, looking at it in
advertising mode (aka non-detailed view) you have an
image of Mandrake Linux 9.0, with text of Thank you
for choosing Mandrake Linux 9.0 under it, but not far
enough under, they actually partially overlap.

Switch to detailed view, and for some packages the
summary line is wider than the box, so they just get
lost out the sides (some examples are rpmdrake and
toppler).  Maybe there could be two lines here and
they could word wrap?

Speaking of rpmdrake, I finally took a minute to look
at it, and so far I'm very impressed!  I can't comment
much on the most important piece, MandrakeUpdate,
until after release and I've had a chance to use it
>:| but it looks like it'll actually work anyway :o)

In the Install software mode of rpmdrake, the sort by
selection state confused me.  I dunno what that's
supposed to mean.  One suggestion the right
(description) pane there, since I know you've been
wrestling with that.  Instead of the right click
there, have two tabs.  The left one would show the
normal description, and the right one would show the
extra stuff the detailed desc shows (source, files,
changelog).  Wouldn't complicate the GUI, and would be
much more intuitive.
