2. I can NOT drag and drop a file from the desktop to either Konqueror or Dolphin. On the other hand I can do it among folders.
That's because the desktop behavior has changed. Things on the desktop itself are widgets, not icons representing files in the /home/$USER/Desktop directory.
3. After the initial installation there was like a transparent image where firefox, thrashcan were on. I close it and I do not know where it is now. I believe it was called <desktop folder> Also what is the purpose of that desktop folder?
That transparent thing was the view into your Desktop folder. To get it back, right click on your desktop and unlock the widgets. Then right click again and select Add Widgets. Scroll down until you get to Folder View. Select it and click the Add Widget button.
You can configure the behavior of this widget... it can look into any directory you set it to... you can have more than one on your desktop... I've chosen to make mine the same size as my desktop, and it's pointing to /home/$USER/Desktop... so I effectively have the traditional desktop behavior that we are all used to.
When you've set this up the way you want, and it's pointing to your Desktop directory, you will be able to drag/drop from/to Dolphin or Konqeror. Remember though... you can't drop files on the desktop outside of this widget.
4. I could ping but firefox could not find the site. After fiddling around for a while I went to the about:config and change the status from false to true of
network.dns.disableIPv6
Don't know this one. Firefox has been working fine with no tweaks for me.
5. I try to add the Community repository and the metadata is not there. Is something wrong or I'm too demanding to the packers to have it ready seconds after release <g>
The Community repositories are there and populated with all the extras you need/want. How are you adding the repositories? Instructions for doing this is here: http://opensuse-community.org/Repositories/11.1
