I do not know if this was happening in the previous versions. I found out if you start up YAST2 (graphical version) and minimize it try to logout. I found out that the system keeps on waiting for Yast2 to terminate. Problem since it is minimize, you can not bring it up to close the window. The desktop is basically locked until you terminate Yast2. One way I closed it is to go on another system and login into the system as root. Kill Yast2 and then the system will logout properly. Is there another possible alternative to do this? -- Joseph Loo jloo@acm.org
