... I need to try/test this [dnfdragora] more. Now I think it's
just doing whatever I last asked when I last exited. ...
I was correct. For
example, if I set it to show "Groups", "Not
installed", "in names", search string blank, then click "Quit",
then the
next time I launch the tool, even after re-boot and log in (same user),
or log out - log in (same user), the tool will show all groups that are
available but not installed on the workstation.

Beta testing done. After a weekly patching, a few
cycles of nightly
power-down and morning power-up, and a few days of regular operational
use, I'm confident this really is fixed. I'm upgrading this to SOLVED.
I thank participants for their help.
