This time I created a 'new' user rather than letting the install find the existing home folder for what was my previous user. This installation is working properly. 2. I then tried adding a user to match my 'old' home directory and tested that. I managed to get this to work as expected, but I had to add the NetworkManager widget to the taskbar manually. I found that when using this 'old' user there were still problems with other applications. 3. I have moved all the files I want from the 'old' user to the 'new' user and changed ownership. Using Kmail archive and import I have moved all my mail messages. My analysis is that there was something in my 'old' user home directory which was causing problems to the installation and the operation of the system. Having started with a 'clean sheet' everything is OK. The 'old' user has been around from openSUSE 10. days which may explain the problems. I now cannot reproduce the problem. The problem instance is now solved, but the issue remains of why it was necessary to start with a 'new' user?
