An idea: the common dialog+progress bar could be integrated in a GtkStatusBar
in the bottom of the window, and you get rid of the popup window most
used allthe time.

And an option something like '--unattended' would be nice: install what you
can, if some pgk fails don't install it nor anything that depends on it.
So you can start the update, go back in 2 hours and see what happened
(I know, urpmi supports something like this, but it requires to update
_everything_, not just select a bunch of packages)
