Note that it's possible to run Yast inside gnome-terminal, which  
might help, although I don't know how well gnopernicus deals with  
libcurses applications.  (I've never quite worked out exactly how to  
force it to run in a terminal rather than launching the Qt version,  
though... it's spontaneously happened to me once or twice for no  
apparent reason, but I presume there's a way to force it...)

Cheeri,
