Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-app-install
After installing an application with gnome-app-install, a dialog appears
saying "New application has been installed".
However, this dialog is flawed in two respects.
The dialog displays two options: To continue adding / removing
applications, or to quit the program. However, the button to quit the
program is improperly using the stock gtk-close label. In GNOME, Close
is associated with closing a window or a document, whereas Quit is
associated with actually quitting the application. As user may click
that button expecting to close the dialog and return to the program, but
actually quitting the program. The Close button should be replaced with
the stock Quit widget.
Before the dialog appears, the program regenerates its package list (checking
installed and available applications). In doing so, it wastes valuable time,
since one of the options is to quit the program entirely. In fact, it is the
more common action for one to quit the program after his selection of packages
is installed!
To solve this, the dialog should appear immediately after the installer is
finished; the package list should be refreshed only if the user chooses to
continue using the program!
