-====== Features for the gtk3 lpm frontend ======
-This document lists features desired for a gtk3 front-end to lpm. It is structured into:
-  * General functionality and appearance
-  * Basic functionality
-  * Additional features
-The document is based on commit 7167406d4c1c60a1a65fcdfd46dadc10dc690ec0 of the gtk3 branch of dalglish:/var/lib/git/lpm.git.
-===== 1. General functionality and appearance =====
-==== 1.1 Naming ====
-The gtk3 frontend should be called glpm (and glpm-update, for an update-only invocation), so it does not conflict with the current fltk-based xlpm frontend. Should be easy to change, I can do that myself...
-==== 1.2 Output of privileged functions ====
-Currently, glpm outputs stdout of any plpm call also on stdout, which is usually not visible when the program is invoked from the desktop.
-If this is doable whithin resonable effort, glpm should implement some kind of output window like in fltk xlpm, displaying the stdout of any plpm invocation.
-Whithin plpm, it is implemented that "high-level" messages are pre-prepended with "plpm: ", this can be used to display progress on a status bar.
-==== 1.3 Settings ====
-A settings dialogue backed by some ~/.config/glpm config file belongs in the nice-to-have section, possible settings would be:
-  * show_old_versions (false): also show older versions of available packages
-  * delete_dependencies (false): delete unused dependencies of deleted packages
-  * auto_cleanup (true): cleanup stagearea after successfull install or update
-  * auto_update (false): apply all available updates on invocation
-  * any other stuff I currently can't think of
-==== 1.4 Actions ====
-Apart from the package-specific actions (install, update, remove), the following actions should be executable by the user, maybe by means of buttons:
-  * Cleanup: clean up the stage-area, corresponds to: plpm cleanup
-  * Refresh: refresh the package catalugue, corrensponds to: plpm refresh
-===== 2. Package Lists =====
-The package lists....
