I've just been playing around with various installation options, and it seems that if you select the "minimal server selection (text mode)" desktop option, you still end up with a minimal X setup instead.
Have I done something wrong in trying to do this installation? The only changes I made from default in my testing were to remove unnecessary entries from the grub menu (I'm going to try it again now with no changes).
I've done both the "text" and "minimal X" installs, and the package lists are different, but the text mode install still ends up with a minimal X - at the very least, this seems to be misnamed, since "minimal X" isn't, and "text mode" isn't - "text mode" seems to be the true "minimal X".
To get to a true text mode system when done with the minimal server install, I ran the following:
rpm -qa | grep x11 | xargs zypper rm
That seems to have gotten me where I intended to be.

I think you end up with twm installed regardless. I noticed that as well a release or two ago. The additional packages and desktop shouldn't take up much more than a couple of meg anyway, so I've never bothered to investigate to the extent you did to get rid of them Glad you have it sorted. -- David C.
