Sorry for the delay in replying, works been crazy the last few days.
I did a complete reinstall selecting a minimal x-windows install, the problem
is present with firefox under twm as well. Gnome wasn't even present in the
configuration.
As I implied in my previous post this was beginning to look like a systemic
problem rather than something specific to gnome. The above test seems to
confirm this.
I've done some web research and found other DNS issues on unreleated platforms
with the DSL modem in question, apparently it barfs on IPV6 requests. Despite
disabling IPV6 during the install it looks as if the bridge associated with
eth0 was still being configured for IPV4/IPV6 dhcp (unless this is showing as
the default in yast2).
I can work around the problem in one of two ways, hand code resolv.conf or put
the modem into bridging mode and move pppoe to the server (which I plan to do
anyway once I finally manage to get create virtual machine to work correctly so
I can set up a firewall VM)
As far as I'm concerned the evidence confirms this is NOT a gnome problem. The
problem is most likely specific to this DSL modem, given a workaround is
possible I'm not even sure it's worth reassigning it to somewhere else, I'm not
sufficiently cognizant of the normal opensuse bug handling practices to decide
if/where to reassign it and would not have a problem with closing it.
