As to what patch it did install, I do not think I can still dig up
that name. (Should have written it down earlier...)
As to what is still shown, here is a partial list:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
MozillaThunderbird: Security update to fix various problems
RealPlayer update to version 10.0.9
aaa_base: Fix for Firefox and konqueror to download aspx pages instead
acroread: fix error on acroread startup
cpio: fix function safer_name_suffix()
emacs: Update to fix bug in parsing GIF images
gd security update
gv: Additional fix for previous security update
vim: This update of Vim addresses a format-string bug in "helptags" (C
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Right now, I've noticed something: one of the patches shown in yast is
pre-selected for installation -- the others aren't. When I run zypper,
that patch is installed. 
So I guess I'll have to ask a different question: why is it that some
patches are selected for installation while others are not? 


Thanks,
