Oh yeah, I totally agree, those UI toggles are confusing, and clumsy
even when you know what they mean.

I hope to have a client streamlined for all the use-cases, hopefully it
can be done fairly easily from scratch. Something like the
SystemBrowser, with middle row of two buttons that toggle the list
between [ 5.3 | All ], where "5.3" is the one detected from the
SmalltalkImage field(s), and then a row of "Browse" and "Install"
buttons. Everything just, there.
