  I just got 0.2 from portage.  thank you for a great package.  after
  a bit of a review and usage my suggested upgrades would be:

   1) some way of parsing the output from emerge so we get some sort
      of readable output.  \r-usage doesn't go well with the current
      version. 

   2) after I've done an action I'd like to be at the same spot in the
      tree, with the same view that I had earlier.  now the tree
      collapses and resets itself after doing it's thing.  this is
      rather annoying.  the most correct behavior is probably to let
      jobs just run, and not interfere with the GUI at all.  this
      does, however, pose some other troubles, like transparently
      updating the tree(s).  but it would be neat.  expanded to
      allowing several tasks at the same time sometime into the
      future.  ;-) 

   3) we have "all", and "merged" panes.  I can live without the
      "non-merged" one, but can I get '*' instead of a '+' for
      categories including packages that have duplicates installed?
      that would make kportagemaster a nice graphical alternative to
      pkg-clean.

   4) I'm not big on pop-up windows telling me about status of
      things.  a statusbar-based progressbar might suffice, but it's
      no biggie.

   anyhow, in case you're in doubt it's all very nice work!
