I would assume that because the KDE source is from the same place that it will behave the same. Could it be a bug in "KDE2" or at least the version that shipped on the CD's? 2.01 and 2.1.1 have just a FEW differences. The user manager should edit the same files that YaST would do in order to create a user.
KDE2 is not SuSE. You would do well to remember that. Just because a bug exists in KDE doesn't mean it's a SuSE thing. A Window Manager/Desktop does not a distribution make or an OS. If this were true...OSX would rule the planet. ;)
I have created users with yast both in KDE 2.0.1, 2.1.0 and 2.1.1. It works fine. I suspect a video card problem and here is why. He has used three distros and had hard luck. I too had many problems with my nVIDIA drivers both in KDE and in GNOME. These difficulties were indeed traced to the video card / drivers. Telltale signs: Mouse trails on desktop after trying to enclose folders for moving; erratic behavior of Star Office drawing functions; problems on logout; minor screen corruptions and display artifacts; lockup of desktop when using xmms and gtulpas. My solution: disable 3D and use the nv driver; wait till the next release and better 3D support. -- Cheers, Jonathan "UNIX is a computer operating system, like Windows, but one which, unlike Windows, is more celebrated than cursed."
