I do not know.

Everything was fine - until I rebootet the machine...

Nothing important: surf with the browser, use VMware.

I do not know.

The 64-bit-machine - so I understand - can handle 32-bit-stuff with the help of
a 32-bit execution part.

I did not use zypper. The necessar chnges I was offered by the installer. I
chose the items with "vendor change" and looked carefully not to use another
version.

This can be configured in dolphin.
I just kicked KDE4 of my system for gnome, but it shouldn't be that hard
to find the option to change it.

I found a place where to change some things. But alltogether the situation IS
insane. Why the hell do "they" all the time worsen the GUIs instead of improving
them? In the end we have a smeary children toy not useable for ages > 1, but
running at full speed at 4 GigaHertz on a 4-core processor.

I began with a 2 MHz 8080 and some few Kilobytes of RAM, with NO ROMS or EPROMS.
That machine still is lightyears above what is sold today. It had a complicated
way to boot (took half an hour to type in the loaders), but it worked. Today I
waste days and days and days INSTALLING again and again a shitty software which
is behavioral therapy of lunatics.
