Then the behaviour is the expected one. There are two option, any of
them is valid and ZYpp selects one randomly.

Not randomly, it prefers gnome by means of alphabet to make this
deterministic. You might have seen bundle-lang-kde-ar installed for the
same reason.

Greetings, Stephan

Although it prefers gnome. Shouldn't it choose based on the main DE
installed by the user?

Define "main DE installed by the user".
If there are two DE installed IMHO probably it is because there are
two users and each one prefers one of them.

Good question. What happens if both are installed?



Right. You get a conflict. There has to be a better solution for admin.

If gnome-session is installed chromium-desktop-gnome will be
installed. If it isn't and kdebase4-session is installed
chromium-desktop-kde will be installed. If it isn't non of them will
be installed.

Since the passwords are stored in different stores and can't be shared
the options are limited:
- Make both packages conflict, so the user will always get all its
passwords whatever the DE he is using at the moment. Problem? Users of
the "other" DE will be using the "wrong" password store.
- Allow both packages to be installed at the same time and select the
one to execute at runtime so every user will get the correct password
store. Problem? Users that use both DEs will have half of his
passwords stored in the Gnome store and half in the KDE store and will
never be able to have all of them available at the same time.
- Make Gnome and KDE password stores compatible and share its
passwords so all problems disappear. Again, don't hold your breath.

We use the first one that arguable is better for single user machines. So...

We can always ping the maintainer about this issue?
