Hi, 

> So are you going to discard the patch?

I'm not the one who makes the final decision, not at all. I only wanted to 
provide some feedback, which is my personal point of view and might not 
necessarily correspond to that of y2-qt-pkg maintainer.

Besides zero possibility to re-use the code that calculates 'delta size' 
somewhere else (outside qt-pkg), I objected that accesibility and visibility 
of this particular bit of information is, using tooltip approach, not optimal 
(I wonder how many users will actually discover it is there).

If I had to choose between seeing nice coloured graph of all relevant 
partitions and tiny tooltips with disk usage summary, and disk size summary 
text ( 'X MB downloaded, Y MB installed, Z MB freed', HTML-formatted). I 
would certainly opt for the latter. It is more important for me to know what 
will happen now, if I download all the packages I've selected, than to see 
how full is my disk -> the graph could be displayed only on request (e.g. 
from the menu - curses do it that way) and when the disk space is running 
out.
