Hi,

So I went to YaST Software Management to install yelp. To my considerable surprise, it entails the installation of quite a few packages that I cannot see as being legitimate dependencies for yelp.
Unfortunately, there appears to be no way to export just a list corresponding to the "Installation Summary" view, so I took a snapshot and attached it.
Is there any way (other than trial and error) to get a more minimal set of packages when installing yelp?
It appears to me yelp must be a gnome application, and you must run KDE. Those dependencies look normal to me for running a gnome app while in KDE. IOW, I would guess that is already a minimal set.
Yes, I run KDE with a few Gnome applications. And yes, Yelp is "The Gnome 2.x Desktop Help Browser." But the last time I let a bunch of Gnome packages get installed (so I could run the Gnome control panel) I was sorry 'cause it messed up my screensaver. I had to painstakingly back each of those packages out (based on a screen capture just like the one I sent here). But really, why does Yelp require, e.g., Beagle, OpenLDAP and two weather library packages?
