Get just the libzypp update and apply that only. You can then either do, as
root, 'rczmd restart' or reboot. Then check out the other updates. This is
crucial to get the libzypp applied _and only_ libzypp at this time.
Note: I did a fresh install off the retail 10.1 DVD this past weekend to
blast the hard drive and repartition for SUSE Linux only and the very first
YOU update had just libzypp chosen. I knew to _only_ do that one update,
reboot or rczmd restart, and then get other updates. Works great. None of
the original problems with the new updater happened. So that issue is fixed
well enough for any new install these days. I haven't tried an upgrade from
SUSE Linux 10.0 to know if the new package management, software updater
works there too.

Sure. Not really an issue once you get the current libzypp update done.

Not well until you get the new libzypp update installed. Then it works much
better. Not perfect yet but SUSE is working to resolve those other issues
such as performance, more information displayed, etc.

No. Doesn't matter which window manager you use. Would be the same issue for
XFce, Enlightenment, TWM, etc.
