I like your new version. The good thing about this kind of software is that it can evolve as your knowledge evolves.

I wish I could help with that. I'm fairly new to bash scripting. I've found this http://www.webupd8.org/2010/12/yad-zenity-on-steroids-display.html
Maybe yad can help. It's more advanced than zenity.
I've updated the Install script, 'updates' now works and I've changed the OK button to Install and cancel to Quit.

This is incredible misko! I will seriously look at replacing the current install system with this. If you can get the download and install bar to show a percentage and download rate we will replace the current install method with yours. Up for the challenge? :)

This script should be named lite-software-gui
saved in /usr/scripts, and marked as executable.
Once a selected app is installed or an installation has been canceled it will be launced again.
Here is the screenshot:
