Linda, as much as I don't like a lot that is going on, that stuff is not exclusive to openSUSE. A lot comes from upstream, like kde.org, gnome.org and freedesktop.org. Really? The full list of files and rpms that changed on my system are below.
freedesktop.org defines standards and develops stuff. E.g. avahi, dbus, fontconfig, pkg-config, plymouth, pm-utils, policykit, portland, shared-mime-info, startup-notification, xdg-utils, Xft, Xorg all come from/via freedesktop.org. See http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software Try building / installing any _GUI_ software without using stuff from freedesktop.org and/or Gnome/KDE.
What in the desktop rpms require themselves to be brought up BEFORE disks are mounted?
That fancy bootsplash stuff does.
Is your intention to make openSUSE a desktop only OS?
Last I've used a "desktop" was KDE 1.1.2. I use WindowMaker. I do not use any bootsplash, *DM. Nor any indexing (tracker, zeitgeist, akonadi, whatever), besides locate, mktexlsr/kpsewhich and my own-scripts. The fanciest I use is gkrellm and that's mostly because it can display a lot of info on little space (even the mixer plugin works ;) -dnh -- Optimist: There is a light at the end of the tunnel.
