Linda, as much as I don't like a lot that is going on, that stuff is not exclusive to openSUSE. A lot comes from upstream, like kde.org, gnome.org and freedesktop.org. Really? The full list of files and rpms that changed on my system are below.
freedesktop.org defines standards and develops stuff. E.g. avahi, dbus, fontconfig, pkg-config, plymouth, pm-utils, policykit, portland, shared-mime-info, startup-notification, xdg-utils, Xft, Xorg all come from/via freedesktop.org. See http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software But my point was that none of the binaries that were moved from "/" to /usr, were desktop related .. i.e. -- none of the files that were moved are on the list you just gave.
That means it is "gratuitous" package moving from upstream.
Linda, you need to re-read this sub-thread more carefully. I'm actually arguing your case! So far, I've read (not from you certainly) "we can move this from /{bin,lib,lib64,sbin} to /usr/ because we require an initrd anyway." A bogus argument if you ask me. I want to be able to boot with a self-rolled kernel without any initrd and with a seperate /usr partition. Even if I don't use that right now.
Gkrellm is pretty nifty, though I don't like the fact that it can't resize a tad larger, so I use xosview.
You can resize gkrellm, just not via WM-methods, but via configuration. Which is quite appropriate for what gkrellm was designed for. Ask me via PM if you need help.
So far, I see no reason why the I listed can't remain in / and be linked from /usr. Then none of this would be an issue.
I see no reason for even linking for more links from /usr to /. If more links would be needed, it'd just be another description for "I broke it". -dnh -- "Don't put off 'till tomorrow, responsibilities. They'll just come back to haunt you.
