Bug 248528

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.4.5) 
OS:                Linux

From a conversation with Marcel Martin, about a somewhat flippant suggestion for What's This text:

>> When you're downloading updates or new packages through the System
>> Settings::Add/Remove Software panel, it shows a progress box, which
>> includes the name of the file (or possibly the package - I can't recall)
>> that its currently downloading, and has a "Details" button.  If you
>> click the button, it displays a meaningless bouncing blue box, and no
>> additional information - its not even a progress bar, since it just goes
>> back and forth an arbitrary number of times til its done.  When I
>> clicked the question mark and then the Details button, to see what it
>> was supposed to be doing, I got a message to the effect that there was
>> no help for that button, and would I like to suggest some.  So, since
>> displaying a meaningless bouncing blue box appeared to be the only thing
>> that the button did, I suggested that for the help text.
>>
>> My real suggestion would be to remove the Details button entirely,
>> unless you're planning on having it actually, y'know, display some
>> details of some sort.
