    Well just to add confusion... On my 9.0 Pro, when I deleted 'desktop' my
    system got incredibly slow. With 'desktop' it runs as before and with no
    change in CPU heat versus 8.2, 8.1, 8.0.

    Can't remember which SUSE employee responded to this list with the
    explaination of what 'desktop' does and why it is used now, but it should be
    in the list archives...

    YMMV,
    Stan
