Hi Andreas. Many thanks for your response. So we've hit the crux of the problem - which seems pretty critical. Although openSUSE is an "open" project, what goes and what doesn't is still decided by the commercial needs requirements of Novell/SuSE. In many ways also reasonably understandable, but it does beg the question - how open is OpenSUSE really? >From www.opensuse.org/How_to_participate : "The easiest way to participate in the development of SUSE Linux is to post a patch as a suggested solution to an existing bug in Bugzilla (https://bugzilla.novell.com). Each package has a maintainer, who will contact you to discuss your proposed solution. " I can't help it - perhaps the paragraph above should be slightly amended then: "Note - patches and proposals are only accepted provided they coincide with SuSEs commercial plans and requirements."
