> System:Configuration:Install Software calls a title-less YaST2 module
> where updating the system is hidden under:
> Package:All Packages:Update

cl to the rescue:   yast -l
  will list the individual yast modules available on your system

interesting modules:
sw_single
update
inst_source
online_update
online_update_setup

the cl is *still* "A Good Thing(TM!)".

> I configured it to use the following repositories:
> Filter:Repositories:
> http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/repo/non-oss/
> http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:10.3/standard/
> http://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/10.3
> http://download.opensuse.org/update/10.3/
> http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_10.3/
> http://ftp.skynet.be/pub/packman/suse/10.3/
> http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/SuSE/10.3/
> Is this a good choice ?

Yes, but you might as well ask me if you made a good choice when you
wed :^)

> Unfortunately i don't see how to edit or change the list there.
> And in the Change Log i miss the version names in the list.

I cannot answer for sure, but "inst_source" and "online_update_setup"
would be likely candidates

> Updating Channels in Smart-Gui Package Manager is just as awkward,

you are voicing an opinion w/o knowledge.  And, for the most part, I
prefer the cl, but the gui is handy at times.

> and it lists different addresses:
> http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/repo/oss/
> http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/repo/non-oss/
> http://download.opensuse.org/update/10.3/RPM System (no URL)

yes, the ones you configured.  the last is what is installed on your
box.

> Is the first just an alias of the URL used in Yast ?

do not understand the question????  First what and smart does *not*
use YaST in any manner that I am aware.

> What is openSUSE Updater using ?
> It currently reports two security updates i don't see in Yast2.
> And Yast2 just updated a few apps that Updater did not see.
> 
> You can rightly say that i don't understand how to update OpenSuse 10.3,
> but i would also say it's a bit of a mess :-)

again, you are making opinionated statements where you lack sufficient
knowledge  :^)

> Especially in contrast to the professionalism that goes into building

present a scenario and ask specific questions and maybe I/we can
better help you to understand.
