Title:
Refreshes the whole window after installing/uninstalling a package

Since synaptic is no longer installed by default (fine with me), I was
using Software Center to uninstall packages from a clean 11.10 install
that I do not want. It was around 15 packages.
I click on remove from one package, the second, third, continue
browsing and by this time the first and second jobs complete their
task. I'm still browsing through the list for other items and the
whole screen refreshes with a spinner, closes all categories/arrows
and actually reloads the whole window for every item in the queue (so
three times) before I can do anything else. I think this is very weird
usability wise.
I think it would be much better if there was no reloading at all, and
if it would just remove the items that were removed from the list
(with a collapse/rollup motion?). Losing your current progress means
you have to go back to where you were and that gets frustrating after
a few times.
I'm comparing this workflow with synaptic where I can just select the
packages I want or don't and apply at the end.
