Well, for the layout point of view I'd rather advocate disabling
buttons, but I don't think it's a good solution from the "user" point of
view, because he won't know why the buttons are disabled.
I think "depends" and "requires" cannot exist separately, so we could
simply put them in a HBox, and hide that HBox. File list and Home can be
hidden without affecting layout. Install and remove should never be
hidden I think :-)
