I see that the attachment did go thru.

Last 'night' when I tried to delete with YaST compiz-kde4 I thought that
I also got another screen showing at least one additional file which had
to be "altered"- so I 'told' YaST to "Continue" with the deletion of
compiz-kde4 in order to get that second message.

Well, I didn't get that second message/screen and YaST started to delete
and "alter" all the other files mentioned in the attachment! :-D

Hitting the Abort button or trying to use the "X" to exit does zilch,
nothing, NADA, so I used CTRL-ALT-ESC to terminate YaST's Online Update.

But, of course, I simply was not quick enough and compiz-kde4 - plus a
couple of other files mentioned in the attached list - got deleted.

It now appears that the problem with respect to compiz-kde4 has been
eliminated - albeit thru a mistake and not by design :-) .

Learn something everyday..........

I learnt a short time ago that one CAN highlight and then copy text 
shown on a command line in konsole.

But trying to provide the result of the command I used is now academic;
however the command which I did issue was "rpm -e compiz-kde4" which
produced the error that compiz-decorator required "*-kde4" and after
issuing the command "rpm -e compiz-decorator" I got, [full quote frim
konsole]:

error: package compiz-decorator is not installed


Ciao.
