Gnome RPM

Of course.  Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and all that.

I've found:

1. GnomeRPM doesn't give me the option of installing required packages after
it checks the RPM file I want to install.

2. It's GUI is cumbersome and unintuitive (sorry, another subjective 
judgement!)

3. I can't figure out how to use the search function.

'rpmdrake', on the other hand, has always done what I've wanted with a minimal
amount of effort.  So we all know which one I use....
