           Summary: "zypper dup" 11.1 -> 11.2 RC2 kills X11 clients

Following http://en.opensuse.org/Upgrade/11.2 with a fairly vanilla, fully
up-to-date 11.1 installation (e.g., no non-openSUSE repos), "zypper dup" causes
the X session to falter after installing xorg-x11-fonts-core, killing the
terminal session that zypper is running in. The X server is not reset nor is
much of the low-level gnome session, but all visible clients die, including the
desktop and taskbar. I'm left with a blank X session, no windows, and apparent
window manager (although metacity did restart around the time of the failure).

No errors in Xorg.0.log. 

xsession-errors reveals the likely reason for why nothing works after the
hiccup:

gnome-panel: error while loading shared libraries: libgnome-desktop-2.so.7:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
nautilus: error while loading shared libraries: libeel-2.so.2: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory
Window manager warning: Failed to load theme "Gilouche": Failed to find a valid
file for theme Gilouche

Not surprisingly, this looks like errors due to some packages not being
installed yet. 

If "zypper dup" is run on a text console or via ssh, the installation continues
just fine even though the X session is left in this zombie state. There's no
error or warnings that look related to this failure when xorg-x11-fonts-core is
being installed, although the post-install SuSEconfig.fonts is run twice, which
is odd.

I can't test this on a real machine, but it's fully reproducible in my VMware
Fusion 3.0 VMs on multiple tries and different computers. 

Reproducible: Always
