I have never used openSUSE before but it looks to me like GNOME is
configured different in openSUSE when compared to other distros. For
example the computer menu in openSUSE is totally different. It is a
little windows-vista like (in the good sense). Is that because is using
a newer version of gnome or it is really configured on a different way?
Another question: What is the keyboard shortcut to use the 3d desktop
(linux cube) on openSUSE?

So far openSUSE is the best linux I have tried.If I start professionally
installing Linux to my customers openSUSE and SUSE Enterprise are
leading my choice!

You have 3 menus available. The one you are using is the so-called slab
menu. There is also the 'Traditional Main Menu' which is the single Gnome
foot; and the 'Menu Bar' which is the 'Applications Places System' block.

I find the slab menu is OK if what you want is already on it. If not it
takes a while to bring up the 'more applications' menu especially the
first time.

One thing I have discovered - the slab menu doesn't work properly on
multiple independent screens. If I click the menu button on the right
screen, it posts on the left screen. Of course, if you then run something
off that menu it loads on the left screen and cannot be dragged to the
right screen. So, if you want stuff to load on the right screen, you need
to add a 'Menu Bar' type menu.
