So... am I the *only* person who has gotten into the habit of selecting Gnome, KDE Desktop /and/ All of KDE at the start of the installation? If there are inherent conflicts when doing this, why didn't YaST2/rpm pick it up? Is there some other mechanism that should have alerted me that this would result in a less than satisfactory environment? This is my first bad experience with a SuSE installation, so I've probably been spoiled. I happen to like KDE /and/ Gnome. I've gotten used to switching between them depending on the program I want to run. Am I being forced to choose between them now?
Looking forward to any and all comments...

I have always installed both Gnome and KDE mainly because there are certain Gnome apps that are not available in KDE and I build apps so all the devel packages are installed also, usually after I get the box up, even then some devel packages have to be dragged in as I hit bother. Apart from 9.1 --> 9.2 upgrades which took some voodoo to get going and in one case I had to do a fresh install without reformatting of 9.2 over 9.1 and I think 9.0 over 8.2 which is the ace up my sleeve as it leaves all the important stuff intact, they have otherwise always gone OK.
