Thanks for your detailed report (it's a good one!); I'll try to improve
the packages.  The "core" should be updated this night.

|   These seem to be missing:
|   
|        gnome-python-1.0.1.tar.gz

Will appear as pygtk* and pygnome.

|        gnome-core-1.0.5.tar.gz

By now, this package should be there (as gncore* an gncored*)

|        enlightenment-conf-0.15.tar.gz

It's still missing, sigh...

|        gnome-pim-1.0.7.tar.gz

Will appear as gnpim*.

|   the SuSE site and I congratulate SuSE for trying to keeping us with
|   up-to-date software. But after I installed the packages and running

If you've done the installation by hand (not via YaST), don't forget to
run SuSEconfig (e.g., SuSE package don't use %post scripts to invoke
"ldconfig").  Then try to invoke "panel" from an xterm.

|   How about some installation documentation?

Yes, this has to be written at some point.  Personal note: Even if there
was done a lot of work by all the GNOME developers, I do consider this
software _in part_ as "young" (also the SuSE packages, BTW).  Most parts
of the software are looking great and are pretty usable, of course.

|   One gets the best from gnome from it's interactions with the WM, how
|   about updating the Enlightenment and WindowMaker WMs?

Yes, this should be done (an will happen); the intention to offer SuSE
GNOME packages is to provide the "core" of GNOME (1.0.x); this way the
user should be able to compile himself all these nice GTK/GNOME
applications.
