Yast is still dead as a doornail after the 1-click install through. zypper still works!
If you have the same problem I did, then the solution is to use
su -
to become root, and then start yast2 from the command line. The problem appears to be that yast is trying to connect to something or other over dbus, and getting rejected. Haven't quite figured out what yet. But with the hyphen after su, the environment gets reset, so it doesn't try to connect to the user's dbus anymore

Hmm.. Anders, I opened konsole and 'su -' to become root and then entered 'yast2' to start yast. Then I selected 'Software Management'. The SW Management repository refresh proceeded like it has done ever since the 1-click install, then when the refresh is done, SW Manamgement cratered with the same error message: YaST got signal 11 at YCP file /usr/share/YaST2/clients/inst_packages.ycp:36 /sbin/yast2: line 421: 5520 Segmentation fault $ybindir/y2base $module "$@" "$SELECTED_GUI" $Y2_GEOMETRY $Y2UI_ARGS Sorry it took so long to reply, but it took me 20 minutes to figure out how to configure the kmail message list window so I could find your reply. I tried aggregating and sorting 20 different ways and was still left with "May" "Monday" "Tuesday" etc.. bars scattered willy nilly in my message list. Once I figured out setting sort by "date" aggregate by "standard mailing list" theme by "classic", then I found you (well no I didn't, I cheated and just searched) I'll set up filters later. KDE4.3 is really cool and a welcome surprise, I can't wait to finish making friends with it! So far (except for the yast issue and the other minors) the desktop has been rock solid. Font rendering is fantastic. So I'll admit, I stand corrected. After my initial look at 4.3, I am beginning to think "by God it will be ready by 11.2 release!" Couldn't resist, here is a cool screenshot of my 4.3 desktop with the desktop effect cube rotate in action: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/screenshots/kde4/kde4-desktop-drive- nova.jpeg God that is a quantum improvement over the desktop cube in kde4.1 released with 11.1. Much more useful too.
