Thanks again. I'm not sure if Gnome was there originally or snuck in during the SP1 upgrade, but I'm glad its gone. If I knew the characteristics of a Gnome-style screen I would have had a clue! However, supportconfig appears to be a good diagnostic tool in cases like these.
Those are good points about the unneeded drivers. If they are small it might not be worth the effort to rebundle and test everything. But if there are lots of them, you get the nickel-and-dime effect.

This turned out to be a difference in what RPMs were installed. The "long scrolling list" was from yast2-control-center-gnome package, but there were also 40+ other GNOME RPMs installed. Some applications (Oracle applications among them) require some GNOME components to be installed, but that wasn't the case here. Removing the GNOME RPMs sped things up, and saved some disk space.
