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.
Yes i know, i lost control. I am sorry.
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.
I am not used to accept/call for help vey often, and i do not want that i feel like an infant that knows nothing. Because there are things i think i know. The 'bugs' kinda overwhelmed me, and your suggestions added up to this stage. However it was most teachable. And i am glad it really worked.
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.
Yes, the upstream theme replaced the openSUSE one, and it is an improvement. I can live with how it looks now. What i want is not possible atm, because the path is somehow really broken.
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"'.
No others are installed. kdm is displaymanager. I have met nobody that actually could change the standard to an other one. I take a few hours rest, to become fresh again. Thanks for your help, it is really appreciated. ;-) -- Have a nice day, Oddball.
