I've just installed 9.3 after a brief experience with 9.2. I've noticed a strange behavior of SUSEplugger in Gnome: if I have my USB DVD-RW (LACIE DVD DL, with id=_NEC-DVD_RW_ND-3520A) plugged at startup, SUSEplugger hangs and does not show up in the tray (it shows up as a small window in the dekstop, and the "pci card" icon does not show up); if instead the USB DVD-RW is unplugged, SUSEplugger starts up correctly and quitely goes in the tray, then I can later plug my DVD-RW and it is recognized correctly.
Is it really hanging hard? If you do a 'ps aux', what does the suseplugger process look like?
Also, from time to time SUSEplugger stays in the desktop with its tiny window instead of going in the Tray. If I ask to not start it at startup at next login, it basically ignores that (even if I set the Autostart=false statement in ~/.kde/share/config/susepluggerrc).
I wonder if perhaps this isn't a suseplugger problem but a systray problem between gnome and kde. When I run gaim in kde, I see similar problems. If I have gaim started automatically on boot, it won't go in the KDE systray, but if I start it manually later it will. In gnome it always goes into the systray. And suseplugger was developed as a KDE program. The two systrays are supposed to be compatible, but maybe there is some subtle difference that causes this Have you tried it in KDE? Do you see the same behaviour there?
