(As I said in my original mail) I think the only way is to remove all the
orginal rpms and then install the new ones. It seems the package names
don't match up at all and also the contents of the packages don't match up.
The main thing I couldn't get working was gnome starting windowmaker as the
window manager. When I log in (from kdm for a gnome session) it doesn't
start a windowmanager and I have to type wmaker at the prompt. This is a
real pain. I've set wmaker as the window manager in the gnome control
center but it doesn't seem to take any notice of it... :(
Hopefully upgrading will be worth it if SuSE keep their rpms more up to
date...
