Well, misc had a point of view that's valid IMHO; you see, a user
(especially a new one) doesn't really need to see lib packages, and
there're more lib packages than main packages from any src.rpm :)
So having it set to "All" when a user searches for something will give
him a lot of results that he probably doesn't care about (e.g.
searching for amarok, he just wants the main package not the lib or
-scripts or -utils ones... etc).
So the whole "Packages with GUI" is good in principal but the
implementation needs a bit of fine tuning. Michael proposed to leave
it as "Packages with GUI" _but_ to offer a way to notify the user
"hey, there're more search results, click here to see them" or
something like that. That's a good solution IMO.
P.S. yes, I too can't count how many times "Packages with GUI" was
posted in the forum, especially to new/unsuspecting users.
