I really like this. It simplifies things for most users, whilst allowing people who want more detail to expand the category easily. A few minor additions: - An arrow next to expandable items to indicate that more details are available - Expandable results should be shown as: Application Name (X Packages, Total: Y kb) in your example this would be Gwibber (9 packages, Total: 158 kb) - Where some of the sub-selections for the main application are deselected, the check box for the application should use the default [-] icon
