Maybe if kwin was instead named kdebase4-kwin its absence might be noticed prior to starting X (instead of a dep?)?
Shouldn't whatever is in kwin be a part of kdebase4-workspace?
Probably too late for 12.2, but what about having a windowmanager provides, and have KDE require some window manager? Then all the window managers could provide that.
For 12.2, probably having a "suggests" or "recommends" for kwin might work.
How?
IMHO kdebase4-workspace would be best for "recommend" kwin. The kdebase4 package can also be used for running kde-apps under gnome, the kdebase4-workspace implies the "whole" experience. Adding a "Provides" "Windowmanager" to kwin / openbox / wmaker / what-ever-is-used-by-gnome can be done even now without any harm to the development / polishing of 12.2, but adding the correspondenting "Require" "Windowmanager" to the Desktop-Environment packages (here kdebase4-workspace) is the 'critical' and error-prone part. -- Yamaban -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
