The suggestions are for the WPKG startup
wait-while-stuff-is-installed-dialog. The configuration GUI is less
interesting, IMHO, as users never see it anyway.

o The dialog is too wide for low screen resolutions. From time to time,
  Windows Setup fails to install proper display drivers here, and runs in
  640x480, in which resolution the dialog is too wide. Perhaps the dialog
  could be of the same size as the domain logn dialog boxes (where Windows
  informs about "Applying user settings" and such). They're aesthetically
  pleasing and familiar.

o The progress bar should follow the actual progress, not tag along without
  purpose and intent (-: The text reports which package of how many is being
  processed - the progress bar should reflect this. Granted, it won't be
  accurate for timing purposes, since some packages require vastly more time
  that others, but it would still be informational. (If one think there
  should be some kind of I-haven't-crashed-just-being-slow-feedback (which is
  what the current progress bar really is), some other visual element could
  provide this.)

o Two alternating texts is really not a very good way of informing users. It
  can of course be worked around by specifying the same text, but IMHO the
  feature is a bug in itself. Allocate a larger text area instead, or provide
  an expandable "more information"-field.

Cheers,
