[Bug 2019249] Re: wishlist: how about changing update-manager description layout to horizontal ?

[yurenchen]

I have improve the implement, and post the patch here.

https://code.launchpad.net/~yurenchen/ubuntu/+source/update-
manager/+git/update-manager/+ref/layout_horizon

in this patch:
- add a `layout-horizon` bool setting in gschema.xml
- check `layout-horizon` setting and apply to window layout at window init

so that, user can change layout via `gsettings` or `dconf`

```
$ gsettings set com.ubuntu.update-manager layout-horizon false
$ gsettings set com.ubuntu.update-manager layout-horizon true
$ gsettings get com.ubuntu.update-manager layout-horizon
true
```

Title:
  wishlist: how about changing update-manager description layout to
  horizontal ?

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  So that to take advantage of the widescreen.

  I thought it was supposed to be horizontal layout.
  But after many versions update it is still a vertical layout

  So I DIY made a little modification to the `UpdateManager.ui`
  This is what it looks like (screenshot in attachment).

  Then the package list and `Technical description` no longer competing
  for vertical display space.

  // If it's ok, I can submit a PR (or patch)
