That makes as much sense as changing the YAST Tango icons to Crystal. Possible to do, but why am I munging the default install to "fix" poor decisions by the developers?
If we simply accept everything Novell/SUSE decides without raising our voices, then we will continue waltzing down the path without anyone raising their hands and saying "wait a sec". We yelled loud and clear about the mess that was 10.1... and things were fixed in 10.2 and continue to be fixed in 10.3. We could have simply disabled zen/zmd (which we all pretty much had to do anyway) and let Novell continue with the mess they created... but we didn't.
This is another mess. It is the default. Why should I have to tell all the people I support with openSUSE to go do some sysconfig change (either with YAST or from the CLI) after the install? On my own machine... fine, I could do that, but I am NOT interested nor have the time to do it across multiple installs at multiple locations in different countries.
Up to 10.2 I could tell them... do the default install. Make no changes... and I knew that regardless of if they chose KDE or Gnome, the toolset was the same when I needed to walk then through installing more software. Now it's not. Now I and everyone else that supports openSUSE in a multi-WM environment is faced with 2 different toolsets... when we had a common one.

Clayton, If you are serious about trying to influence what's default and not, then I suggest you start a new thread in opensuse-project. In that thread, you probably want to include constructive criticism and argue your point in a manner that decision makers and developers a like will read. The insults and bad mouthing that's been going on in this thread will certainly not help your case.
