[opensuse] Suggestion about package management and GNOME apps menu

First of all, hi! I'm new to openSUSE. Well, not exactly, but this is
my first serious look at this fine distro.

Anyway, to cut to the chase...

I see that the applications list (Computer > Applications > More
applications...) is "integrated", so to speak, with the package
manager. The right-click menu gives me an option of removing an
application. That is very nice. However, if I choose that option, it
loads the full package manager, which in turn loads the full package
list from the on-line repos.

IMNSHO, I think that it is not necessary to load the on-line package
lists if I only want to remove an application that is already
installed on the local system. The info needed for removal should
already be on my box. Or am I wrong? If I'm wrong, shouldn't the info
needed to remove a package be available off-line?

My 2c.

And to openSUSE devs: GREAT job! Fantastic release!
