Button Order and Button Roles

KDE and GNOME are the major desktops on Linux machines. Not only do they use different toolkits (KDE uses Qt, GNOME uses Gtk), they also have different usability philosophies. The most visible of those is the button order:

Testing the package UI

This is about testing the popup which is shown if the dependency check of the YaST package selector results in any unresolved issue (e.g. missing packages or libraries, conflicts caused by patches...). There is an easy way now to get the dependency popup to be able to see whether all information is shown correctly. The libzypp testsuite provides the program deptestomatic.multi which is able to read a solver test case (an XML file) and to create the package UI.
