Um, the Desktop selection dialog defines only the pattern selection,
so there are basically two options:
1) Define the openSUSE roles to only configure the patterns
(to be backward compatible with the current behavior,
users are used to it)
2) Additionally configure some other options (partitioning,...),
just like in SLES, e.g. do not propose separate /home for a minimal system.
This is a different behavior but I'd tend to prefer this approach as it is
far
more flexible and probably better fits the user requirements.
The only thing I'd improve is the visual appearance. The roles dialog
looks... so plain. The current desktop selection dialog has some nice icons
which
improve the dialog a lot. But that should not be hard to improve I guess...
