Sure, this is worst case scenario just to test all the functionality.

I've hidden the close button, unless there are no updates to install.

Yes, I've been modifying my work copying some of the features. The
explanation header and the distro upgrades section is a good idea, and
so I've "borrowed" that.

New screenshot attached. Comments welcome. I'm going to start merging
bits of this into master, but with a new executable name
gpk-update-viewer2. When we're all happy with the way it works we'll
remove the old one.

Thanks,
