Hi Richard,

Thanks for your clear reply. 

Right now the kde package overwrites gnome's files on openSUSE and therefore 
the kde variant is run even if the user runs gnome. I'd like to solve this 
issue until the next milestone. Do you think you'll have a solution until Jan 
20th? (see: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Roadmap )


Thanks a lot.
Thomas
