I think what he's getting at here is that on at least some versions of Windows 
(Win2K, SP2 for me), if you change views from the default tree view, the lines 
of text dexcribing the packages are drawn a little too close together, 
resulting in a little bit of the top portion of each line being cut off.  It's 
still readable, but you have to put some effort into reading it.  I expect 
somebody's already pointed this out, as it is easy to see. Btw, is there a 
running list of Known Bugs for setup.exe?  I ask because I wasn't able to find 
one in my (admittedly quick) search, and I expect if there is one, that this 
is probably in there and I'm unfortunately re-reporting it.  At any rate, in 
case this isn't a known issue, I've put a screenshot of it up at:

so you can see what I'm talking about.

Thanks for the work, this is looking really nice!

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the
ability to learn from the experience of others, are
also remarkable for their apparent disinclination
to do so.
