Selecting a port and clicking the Info button " i " then pops up an info window 
with no close window 
control.
Clicking the Info button again closes the window but people probably expect at 
least a close 
control.
If you click the Info button, leave the Info window open and minimize (yellow 
button upper left) the 
main window the Info window stays visible with no obvious way to close it.

The long description information window doesn't let me do much.
I might want to select the text of the description, copy, paste, etc.
The only thing I can do is push buttons with project or email - again i might 
want to see them, 
copy, paste.

How about a "plain" window (or drawer) that contains the full text description,
links to Project and email (that can be copied/pasted or clicked)
*and* a link to the Trac like http://trac.macports.org/search?q=mysql5 or 
whatever?

The window resize control in the lower right corner is on top of the scroll 
down arrow control.

I have some ports in /Users/brad/misc/MacPorts that don't appear in CafePorts.

It looks like your only reading the portindex of the default macports dir.

You might need to parse this file ${prefix}/etc/macports/sources.conf to find 
other places to 
look for ports.

cmd:
$ port list all

would do it but is REALLY SLOW.

There are probably other commands that are better or just parse the PortIndex 
files yourself but 
if you do you may end up with something different then what macports port 
command produces.

1. Login as non-admin user
2. Attempt to install anything

Prompted for password, but that's not going to work. In my case we need both a 
username and 
a password.

In my case I have a separate admin account. The admin account can "sudo" 
without password.
I have keys set up so the following command works 

 ssh admin@localhost port selfupdate

or whatever else I want to do. Normally I just open a terminal session as 
admin, but sometimes 
I like to be able to save a step. No password prompts, the commands happen.
