Yes it may be clumsy, but look at what Stefan Hundhammer write here: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=399239 << Quite a number of people wanted this invisible by default; they say (I don't agree to that) that this makes this dialog more complex. So it was decided that we remove it. >> Many users asked for that, and a bit of us (I and Stefan :), at least) don't agree. I thougtht that demanding / interested users, as well as open the table widget, could also trigger the tooltip :) > Not to mention the fact that I'd very much liked to see some solution usable > in all package manager UIs, so we don't have to recycle and reimplement the > code over and over again (in all package manager UIs). > I filed this enhancement request > https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=410897 so that the functions > calculating disk usage changes are made available outside zypper and all > package managers (UI or CLI) can use them i.e. can ask libzypp about current > status when user/application requests it. Generally speaking I agree with code refactoring practice, I hope yast will be better ;) So are you going to discard the patch?
