Thanks guys. I'm actually running KDE Desktop - not Gnome. There may be a KDM (KDE Desktop Manager) available for KDE. I know SuSE like to play around with config files, which is why I unistalled their versions of Apache, PHP and MySQL and a few others. I like to download and compile the latest versions of the above, and have the default system layout, so I know where things are.
