When you say they do not require lib's, I'm assuming that they do not share any common dependency files that might be changed if the program was updated, therefore allowing the reverse upgrade(downgrade)?
Unless you use the rpms provided by one of the SuSE repositories, there should be *no* relation to what version you are running unless you run something like galeon which relies on the mozilla package and is sensitive to version.
Can I therefore assume, in a simplistic way, that if I was updating KDE from 3.1 to 3.3 they would both be affected because they rely on the X configuration being a certain way so thy can work.
Understand what *they* say about _assume_. I don't understand where you are comming from. KDE runs on X and is dependent on X. Mozilla and OOo run on X, not the window manager which is what KDE is. Mozilla and OOo also run on Xfce, gnome, ... Perhaps you need to reconsider your question and ?? rephrase ?? Mozilla/OOo are not dependent on KDE KDE is not dependent on Mozilla/OOo (AIUI) -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/photos
