Agreed.

I think it's canceling if destination path is blank and you try to go
forward or back...that's definitely a bug. It should probably just
disable the forward button until the combo box has a valid path in it,
too, but that page is all just placeholder code for now (actually, most
of the GTK+ code is placeholder code at the moment. Having it work at
all was the only requirement before publishing MojoSetup, and it shows).

Yes. I'd really like to replace that with an HTML-rendering widget, but
I'm not sure plugging in gtkhtml is worth it. It would be really nice to
have rich text in the readme/eula, though.
As for window size...I think it's setting itself to something like 30%
of the desktop size, which happens to look okay on this Apple Cinema
Display, but not so good anywhere else. I'm not sure what the right way
is to choose a default screen size, but I'm sure there's probably a way.
Opinions are welcome.

Yeah, I didn't want to put too much work into the GTK bits until the UI
interface was more stable and I had a better idea of what a graphical
installer should look like. It was much easier to throw together (and
throw away) experiments when the "user interface" is printf(). :)

Thanks!
