Why exactly is it that I can't remove freecell but leave the other games?
Seems to me that some people don't like freecell, but might enjoy solitaire?
whats up with not being able to remove certain applications without being
able to remove gnome-desktop?
Can we change this to allow a user to remove individual programs that are
part of a package?
Otherwise, can we change the entry in add-remove so that different programs
inside a single package are displayed as a single entry?
