SuSEconfig

There are many ways to install software in opensuse, like yast,rpm or
zypper.
Only yast runs SuSEconfig after installing software.

My question is, is it still necessary to run SuSEconfig after installing
software with zypper or rpm?

If i would install midnight commander via "zypper in mc" mc gets installed
and runs fine, no need for SuSEconfig to get it running.

Is SuSEconfig only needed when installing, say a database like MySQL, so
that it configures the services needed for MySQL?
