I seem to recall there being some "issues" with SuSE at one time dealing 
with appropriate python-gnome bindings.  If noone else comes up with an 
immediate answer, check the mailing-list archives at 
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=1991.  
Unfortunately, they aren't searchable, but you can peruse the threads.  I 
would look back around August/September threads...

Ahhh. Good point.  We haven't implemented this in the install.  I'll look 
into trying to make that happen.  You should be able to edit your menus 
yourself, though, and add it manually.


>When I tried to start 'gramps' from the command line under Gnome, I got this:

I don't know about these errors.  It looks like an xauth issue.  How do 
you log in and start up the Gnome or KDE session?  Do you log into a 
command line and type "startx" or do you log in from a graphical "greeter" 
screen and choose a session type?  If the latter, do you know whether it's 
gdm or kdm or xdm that's running?


>What did I do wrong, and what can I do to fix it?  Any help _greatly_ 
>appeciated...

We'll hopefully get this figured out.  Have you tried Googling either of 
those error messages?

Cheers,
