my prefered is, open a console, su, and type "yast sw_single".

First of all, hi! I'm new to openSUSE. Well, not exactly, but this is my first serious look at this fine distro.
Anyway, to cut to the chase...
I see that the applications list (Computer > Applications > More applications...) is "integrated", so to speak, with the package manager. The right-click menu gives me an option of removing an application. That is very nice. However, if I choose that option, it loads the full package manager, which in turn loads the full package list from the on-line repos.
IMNSHO, I think that it is not necessary to load the on-line package lists if I only want to remove an application that is already installed on the local system. The info needed for removal should already be on my box. Or am I wrong? If I'm wrong, shouldn't the info needed to remove a package be available off-line?
My 2c.
And to openSUSE devs: GREAT job! Fantastic release!
