While you are certainly allowed to speak your feelings, those utterances are the result of frustration of your own making. Continuing in this manner will definitely, and has already, alienate those inclined to lend you assistance which so far you either dismiss or only half perform.
Wipe your disk(s) after backingup your <home>. Make a *new* install w/o selecting *kde3* apps. Boot into your new system with a *new* user and attempt to do *controlled* and *reversable* changes to achieve your needs. Then and only then import your saved <home> a portion at a time checking that something does not change your system adversely.
Return and *sanely* request assistance w/o the rants and derogatory. Perhaps you will get help and perhaps not.
*You* are *your* own worst enemy.
Oddball, this is all good advice. The ranting definitely needs to stop. It does nothing to get you where you want to go. It does make people ignore you, and worse. If you want to continue trying to fix your system as a learning experience, that's fine, but don't expect people to keep hand-holding with detailed steps what you should do next. As to runlevel 3 root login issue, revisit: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2012-10/msg00352.html For root login in KDM issue, you've been given instructions about kdmrc and displaymanager enough times that if you can't follow through on it all, installing fresh is your best next step. One more thing to try is to see if some other display manager than KDM is being used to cause your changes to kdmrc to be ignored. Make sure gdm, kdebase3-kdm, lightdm and lxdm are not installed, and that /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager contains 'DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm"'. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
