I have no real complaints about it, but something that was mentioned (by
Stephen Turnbull?) does give me an idea.  Looking around in the folders to
find packages or just see what you have by double clicking each one, then
looking through it, then double-clicking the up icon to get back to the main
level in Glint can be kind of time consuming.  I'd rather see a collapsed
tree structure (with small folder icons) that could have each branch
expanded to show it's constituent folders by clicking a plus sign, and
collapsed  again by clicking the (now) minus sign.  A double-pane view
showing the tree on the left and the contents of the currently selected
folder on the right would also be cool

Yes, this would look something like a certain file manager on a certain OS
from a state somewhere north of Oregon, but I happen to really like the way
that file manager works :-)

As long as you're at it, how about doing the same thing to the file manager
that comes with TL (and RH, I believe)?  Smaller folder icons are definitely
needed, at least.  The big ones take up a bit too much screen real estate
for my tastes, especially when you don't have a 17-inch monitor.
