To all openSUSE developers:

I recently downloaded 11.2, installed it, ran all the updates and ran
for a few days - looked good I thought - so I converted my
brother-in-law from Windows to openSUSE 11.2.

Between the two of us, we keep getting various program errors, from
plasma dumping and restarting, problems with a web application in
Firefox (that my brother-in-law has been using under windoze for several
years) locking up the whole computer - mouse won't move - no response
from keyboard, etc.

AND - I have been trying to get him on Linux for over 2 years - then I
get him on 11.2 for 2 days - and - this "crap"  happens.

If it wasn't for viruses causing his desktop to crash in the first place
- he said TIC (tongue in check) I might as well go back to Windows.

I mentioned that I was having strange problems on 11.2 also and that I
was going back to 11.1 - and - as soon as I got time - I will be putting
him back on 11.1

Please don't ask for particulars because I don't remember them all -
except that is was a lot of the day-to-day mainstream programs.

In my case, I have to have a stable machine to run my business - in my
brother-in-laws' case, he has to have a stable machine to use his for
his real estate business.

Finally, is there a way to get rid of the unnecessary transparency crap
- and - a way to get - by default - the desktop folder ON the desktop -
and - NOT - a folder of the desktop ON the desktop?
