KPackagekit dependency resolution dialog is unreadable with multiple categories

[Oded Arbel]

Binary package hint: kpackagekit

When kpackagekit has more then once class of dependency resolution to offer (e.g. pacakges to remove as well as packages to install), it adds a side panel to the small dependency resolution dialog which makes the category names unreadable and does not really help the readability of the package list.

See attached screenshot.

This can be fixed by using a tree control to represent the different categories, like in Synaptic, instead of using the side panel.

Alternatively the side panel text can be made to word wrap properly and/or the dialog width increased.

I have filed bug #559798 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kpackagekit/+bug/559798) which could be a pre-requisite for this bug.
