However, the real problem that Ximain has created for me is that their installer has completely wiped out Gnome. Gnome appears as an option in the log-in menu, but selecting it is pointless because it starts KDE (some might say that's a good thing).
In order to start Ximan gnome, you have to create a new session called gnome.session, rather than just gnome. Exactly how you do this depends on whether you are using gdm or KDE's thingie.
a) How to get rid of the Ximain crap?
Reinstall, although the Ximian stuff isn't that bad, and I've learned a lot getting it working. Another couple SuSE and Ximian gnome versions, and I might get to graduate from rank newbie status <g>.
b) Can I recover Gnome just by reinstalling with Yast2?
Don't know. Some of the questions you have are answered at ximian.com, on their support page. There is a decent list for Ximian issues, too. Be well, Lissa -- INCORPORATION, n.
