I don't understand this. If from other you choose minimal X you get the very lightweight IceWM, with no choice of temporary desktop at all needed, since it seems to be a dependency of Xorg itself in openSUSE regardless of the preferred DE. IOW, in openSUSE, you can't have Xorg installed and not IceWM and/or IceWM-lite, and same for TWM which AFAICT isn't even a separate package.
Minimal X used to be TWM, if it is now icewm, then that would work fine. When I say temp desktop, I mean something available from the repositories {oss, update} to use to complete install and move files before adding the kde3 repo and installing that. If I could have/(knew I could have) added the kde3 repo, I could have just installed that. The only reason this was noteworthy to me, and worth discussing to inform others, was finding the number of process in /etc/xdg/autostart after having done the install with lxde. Since lxde is just an openbox offshoot, I didn't expect to have 1/2 of gnome activated by making that choice. Generally, for my install, all I care about is getting an xterm and slightly more functionality than TWM without a whole host of autostart apps buried away. The lxde choice was a surprisingly full setup with all the bells and whistles. Nothing wrong with that, just surprising when expecting a lighter weight install and no baggage when changing desktops :) -- David C.
