No, that is https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=705989.
It's a limitation of rpm/cpio due to symlinks being replaced by
real files and directories, I'm currently not aware of a
solution. As a workaround you can remove and then reinstall the
xfce-utils-doc package.

No, not yet, only in git. Coolo usually updates them before the
next MS/Beta/RC. I also have some more pattern changes planned.

You have to delete them manually, this would be gdm and the
dependencies it drags in such as nautilus, gnome-shell,
gnome-session-core etc. You can determine them e.g. through the
dependency graphs that YaST can display.
