Was I happy? You bet! Satisfied? Nope...
- I added supplementary ftp Gnome and KDE to my installation sources then upgraded everything available and... drumroll... it pulled down more KDE packages than GNOME packages and when it was all done every single display anomaly and desktop stability issue returned. Waaaaaah!
I have updated Suse in several ways and the only pitfall i never could solve were updates of gtk that messed up my system. This looks familiair. Try to downgrade gtk and see if that helps. If that is not possible try to update with newer packages. Maybe gwdg's apt repositories have newer versions.
So... am I the *only* person who has gotten into the habit of selecting Gnome, KDE Desktop /and/ All of KDE at the start of the installation? I used to do this but since i don't use gnome and the repeated misery with gtk updates a ileave out nome and all gnome/gtk updates that are any better than security updates.
