Thinking more about this dialog; I'm wondering where

 - Requires
   - for showing what packages will be installed / required when
     applying this update

 - Obsoletes
   - for showing what packages will be uninstalled when applying
     the update

 - ChangeLog delta
   - Showing the ChangeLog delta from e.g. glib2-2.12.0 to
     glib2-2.14.0

would fit... It's tempting to just use tabs here; e.g. you'd have

 V Details
  +--------------------------------------------------+
  | Summary | Requires | Obsoletes | Changes         |
  |                                                  |
  | ...                                              |
  +--------------------------------------------------+

though that makes it a bit busy. Alternatively the view could have a
scrollbar and you'd just add fields. I don't know.

Also wondering if it makes sense to ditch the "Details" GtkExpander
widget completely and always show the Summary (and tabs). Don't know.
