[Bug 416818] [NEW] Change the way Arora recommends installing extra multimedia packages

[Victor]

Public bug reported:

I posted this on KDE brainstorm
(http://forum.kde.org/brainstorm.php#idea74928) and Arora bug tracker
(http://code.google.com/p/arora/issues/detail?id=596):

After installing Kubuntu 9.10 and KDE 4.3 and running Arora, Arora 
recommends installing additional multimedia packages:

Nice feature, but i would like to suggest to improve the way it does it.

Here it would be nice to have additional information about packages to 
install. Now it just says "For extra multimedia functionality select 
restricted packages to be installed". It should mention that Arora asks for 
this.

As far as i understand here you cannot change much - this window is not 
manageable. But if it is possible - again indicate that the packages which 
are isntalling right now are restricted packages for Arora.

And this window is really ugly. Again indicate what was successfully 
installed.

After installing the packages and notifying about it there appears a 
notification in system tray recommending to restart Arora to get new 
functionality. I didn't manage to make screenshot - the notification closed 
too fast (it would be nice to track history of notifications and jobs).
I think this notification should not appear if Arora is not running. And it 
should say what kind of new functionality (new media packages) it is 
talking about. But i would suggest to not make the notification. Rather put 
this information in the window which notifies you about finishing 
installing the packages:
