Bug Description
Binary package hint: unity
I file this as a bug, but if you think it should be a suggestion I'll post it to brainstorm. I see it as a bug especially because it has a simple solution: in unity I can see "proposed" applications in the applications menu. They're great, they look attactive, but the names are often uninformative. I then fear to click on them, since launching software-center on a netbook is a heavy process, and also because if I click on one, the other ones "disappear".
Just adding the description of each package in a tooltip (maybe with the screenshot too) would solve the problem. I could then move my mouse from one icon to another and learn what things are. To get more information or install I could then go to the software center.
