Hi! The presence of the linux32 package (installed by default on x86_64) causes issues including not behaving well with elements of the GNOME desktop [bnc#841070], but also more invasive ones such as [bnc#435538]. I request the consideration of dropping the package altogether from Factory if there is no reasonable use case which justifies otherwise. If this cannot be done because people do use this package, might I suggest removing it from the default patterns* and hiding the .desktop menu item from the applications menu (as promised in bnc#408320, then somehow reverted), in the least?
Thank you.
* It is recommended by the pattern 'enhanced_base' at present. I will make the sr for the change if this is the route we take.
I don't think enhanced_base actually wants to recommend xterm - this is most likely an old artefact. Naming this package linux32 is very misleading as it's actually xterm32 :) But you need to fix the GNOME bug anyway as dropping this recommend won't remove the package from all existant openSUSE installations.
