I've been doing only minimal installs of Factory lately. I also set solver.onlyRequires=true and use only zypper for package management.
Hmm. Looking for trouble?
That means patterns shouldn't be installed, yet they seem to be anyway.
No idea how patterns are treated in that case.
Today I notice on such an rv380 installation that I had incompletely installed Xorg even though KDE 4.8.4 works using startx, but KDM didn't, and still doesn't for reasons unknown to me.
In trying to get KDM to work I noticed xorg-x11 hadn't been installed, so I did zypper in xorg-x11. That resulted in 4 packages to install, including twm and xdm.
xorg-x11 has become a meta package to collect all required and possibly useful X sample apps like xdm, xmodmap, ...
Why on a system with kdm already installed are twm and xdm required?
xdm scripts are used by kdm (and I believe also by gdm). twm is still used as a fallback by the xdm init script.
