RFE: Pup displays a roly-poly lovable puppy in a gtk window which has a
click-able belly that makes it rollover.

Rationale: Barbara doesn't care that when updating her Fedora 7 system
sha1sum fails to verify the comps file against the repodata so a clickable
puppy hides all this until the mirror re-syncs.

Documentation: None required - everyone knows a puppy likes having his belly
clicked.

Also consider ponies.

Cheers!
