[opensuse] kpowersave krashing on 10.2 and comments

Hi Folks,
First problem #1:
This is a clean 10.2 install on a Dell Dimension 4700 with KDE
as the default desktop.
When logging in, the crash handler reports that kpowersave
has crashed. I tried a few things, including booting acpi=off,
moving kpowersave, linking it as /bin/true, but all for naught.
If this was my system I wouldn't care, but it's being configured
for another user and having to see this crash report upon every
login is bad publicity.
Any suggestions? The crash report mentions something about a
problem with D-Bus. No, Gnome is not an option!
Then, problem #2:
Konqueror doesn't pick up the Yast configured proxy setting
as it did in the past. This is on a non-routed (no NAT),
insular subnet with one host running squid. Firefox picked
up the setting, but Konqueror had to be configured by hand.
This behavior is on both X86 and AMD-64.
Now for the comments:
With the exception of the kpowersave and proxy issue, things went
very smoothly on this and on a brand-new dual-dual-core Opteron
disk farm with three 3-Ware raid controllers and 16 450-GB SATA disks.
Good work, SuSE!
This is the first time I've gone with Opensuse instead of the
boxed-sets. While I'm sorry to see their demise in North American
stores, I'm gratified that the download versions are working well.
It was rather depressing at Frys this morning, however. They had
a couple Linspire boxes, one Slackware, and a couple SuSE 10.1
leftovers. Paltry pickin's in a literal forest of Microsoft
products. Linux certainly isn't reaching out to the impulse-buy
retail shopper any more. Pity.
Regards,
Lew Wolfgang
