I have an HP Pavilion ze4500 that I'm using to try out the release
candidate, my experience has been mostly positive so far, although not
without problems.

Now that it's done I have a couple of problems I haven't been able to resolve.

I liked the simplicity of the one click settings, but I found it too
hard to use when manipulating files. I used the simplest method I knew
to change the settings back which was the KDE desktop settings wizard.
As a result, I lost the Suse icons. I was very disappointed that there
isn't a Suse icon theme or overall KDE theme for the default. Is there
anyway to get the Suse icons back once they've been changed?

I was very impressed that the installer chose the correct 1400x1050
resolution, but somehow the fonts are rather large. Has anyone else
noticed this, or is there some screen metric setting I'm missing? The
fonts say they are 10 point, but this is the largest 10 points I've
ever seen.

Lastly YaST is undoubtably the crown jewel of Suse, but it can often
be unresponsive. It's hung on me a couple of times starting services
and such, but most annoying is when it can't connect to an online
repository. No amount of clicking 'abort' will stop it. Is there a
timeout setting somewhere or an elegant way to handle this?

Thanks in advance for any help. I've enjoyed Suse so far and I'm
looking forward to recommending it to people as a good introduction to
the world of Linux.
