A small touch.

While using the Package Manager of Pardus, I have always been annoyed with the animation of package list.

In Package Manager, when user clicked on a package -to get its details-, details comes with sliding-down animation. And then if user clicks the same package, details goes away with sliding up animation.

But, when user clicks a different package while one of them opened before, it closes the first one directly (no animation) and then shows the new one with a sliding down animation. A small touch;

Fixed it :) Here are the results;
