This change has been made mostly because we need more control in how
things are displayed, and fighting GTK+ so that this is possible isn't
going to cut it.
For instance, it is now possible to display links -- albeit only
external links at the moment, but internal links will be possible,
allowing for instance for one to click in a kernel module dependency to
know more about that particular module. Links will also be useful to
go to the vendor website, and maybe other things (like web search for
Vendor + Product ID) and whatnot.
Eventually this will replace the summary view altogether. That code
has a lot of drawbacks, including not being able to have its contents
copied to the clipboard, appear in reports, or have auto-updating
fields. It stays for now, but it will be gone before 0.6 is released.
I had forgotten how messy this code is. One of the reasons I lost the
interest in this project... I want to hack on a nicer code base but I
also lack the strong motivation to write the shell from the scratch.
