Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

Zenity is a basic rewrite of gdialog, without the pain involved of trying to figure out commandline parsing. Zenity is zen-like; simple and easy to use. Zenity Dialogs: Calendar, Text Entry, Error, Informational, File Selection, List, Progress, Question, Text Information, Warning and Password. Zenity is especially useful in scripts.

Mapping provenance

Only source-backed identity signals create public cross-OS links. A reviewer can later approve or dispute an inferred relationship without rewriting native package history.
