It's a start, but it's not complete. Right now we show a menu with the
most commonly used action (if a pkg is not installed, the action is
"install", if a pkg is upgradable, the actions are "upgrade,remove"
etc). This will change for future versions where we'll probably show
all menu options (just like the package menu in the main-menu bar) and
gray out the not relevant lines.

I'm not sure if it's possible to use the suse icons. The problem is
that yast2 is AFAIK not free software and I'm not sure about the
license :/ But maybe someone can draw icons in the same spirit :)
[not me though, I'm terrible bad at drawing]
