I recently upgraded from 8.1 to 9.0 Professional on my desktop, and
I've got two problems.  

First, alt-tab no longer switches between applications the way it used
to It brings up the application list (the box of application icons
that appears on center screen) and walks through them correctly, but
when I release the keys, it does not actually switch to the chosen
application.  Instead, the application list stays onscreen and nothing
else happens.  If I hit TAB or RETURN, it will actually switch to the
new chosen app, but why do I need the extra keystroke?

Second, automount does not appear to be enabled by default.  I
attempted to install it using YAST; it finds the autofs and autofs-4
packages but, when I try to install them, I get the following error:

I have verified that automount IS installed, and I can probably get it
configured manually, but that doesn't help when I'm trying to talk a
nontechnical relative through it on the phone.  Any ideas on what the
problem is?

For the record--after the above failed, I successfully installed the
km-submount package, but even though it installed successfully, it did
not end up actually enabled and running, which doesn't help very much.

My machine is a PII 300Mhz, 128M RAM.

My next step will be to uninstall autofs etc and then reinstall, as
maybe they are interfering with one another; I just haven't had time
yet.
