Mostly I'd agree, but as a Gnome user I feel somewhat disappointed with the Gnome setup, I was up all night last night (literally - not had any sleep) with some problems that I have yet to resolve...
Installed 7.2, with all packages in gnm installed then egger's Mozilla 0.9.1 RPMs, and built Galeon 0.11.0 from sources...
Problem is that when I log in as a normal user various bits of Gnome don't work...
The Settings menu on the top panel is empty There's no Main 'Foot' Menu on the main panel, nor does selecting Panel -> Add to Panel -> Menu -> Main Menu achieve this When I try to change the icon for a launcher (for example) the area on the choose icon dialogue where available icons in a given directory would be shown is empty, even though I am able (according to permissions) able to read the icon files
It's a fresh install, with /home mounted from a previous 6.3->6.4->7.0 installation
And it happens even if I rm -fr .gnome* in $HOME
The wierd thing is that all these things work 100% fine when logged in as root...
The new-look Console 1 is nice, but I'm already wondering how long it'll be before I'm sick of it, but the new-look LILO screen is simply gorgeous!

Just installed SuSE 7.2 and it just gets better & better. Clean installation went faultlessly as usual, everything detected perfectly and I love the new console layout on tty1. My compliments to the SuSe team............... Keep it coming coming coming coming ;-)
Unfortuantly Gnome seems to be broken, not just on SuSE, but I even saw it do weird stuff on a RH machine.
What let's you say this? Yes, Gnome has bugs, but anything else is true exaggeration. And yes, not all bugs in SuSE's Gnome are SuSE's fault, but they are responsible for some.
What happened to Eazel was a very good thing IMO.....To many different interests got involved and most of it monetry. I have installed Gnome 1.4 and will see if I get the same stuff as you :-).
Now up and running on my Workstation...This is way better than I thought it would be.
Thanks SuSE! Huh? Try SuSR-7.2's screensaver in gnomecc.
Independenly from this, try installing the SuSE-NVidia drivers from the src.rpm to be found on nvidia's site (I need to, no 4GB-smp driver binary available) and watch your kernel configuration going to be hosed :( Ralf
