[opensuse-gnome] NVIDIA observation

My old-ish ThinkPad has an nVidia (173 series) GeForce FX Go5200 card
and never looked better than when I booted the Official GNOME 3 Live
DVD System (so good that I soon installed it). Since I use that
machine for testing, over the course of the past six months I've also
installed Debian's, Fedora's and Mageia's GNOME 3 desktops which all
run the nouveau driver, and all give me a multi-coloured, striped top
bar and messed-up desktop fonts. Just to make sure I wasn't imagining
the perfection of the original Live DVD, I re-installed it this week
(and I was right, it's perfect).

What did openSUSE get right ten months ago that still isn't right
elsewhere? Is it safe to upgrade from GNOME 3.0? (I have GNOME
Factory installed on my production laptop which has Radeon graphics,
and on my production desktop which has a much newer nVidia card -- btw
on the latter I don't get a GDM login screen on startup, just Console
1).

Mike
