By
Work in progress!!!!!

#: aptitude install x-window-system-core
#: aptitude install fluxbox fluxconf
#: exit (to user)
$: startx

From the fluxbox session, open a terminal. Do the following to install VirtualBox integration:
$: su
#: aptitude install build-essential
#: aptitude install linux-headers-`uname -r
#: mount /media/cdrom
#: cd /media/cdrom
#: sh VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run
#: reboot

We should have a nicely integrated. Note that this configuration will start in console mode (init 3). You should run startx to go to the X session.

Now try to change to one of the default styles, this case "flux".

The following add-ins could not be started MonoDevelop.GnomePlatform

By
Installing MonoDevelop in OpenSUSE 12.2 from its repository was very easy. When running it for the first time though I got the message: The following add-ins could not be started: The root of the trace shows MonoDevelop.GnomePlatform,2.8 A quick search shows that MonoDevelop depends on libgnomeui .

References: http://software.1713.n2.nabble.com/MonoDevelop-and-openSUSE-12-1-td7462957.html [2013/04/09] - Same issue observed in OpenSUSE 12.3 and also the same fix. [2014/11/02] - Same issue observed in OpenSUSE 13.3, mondevelop 3.0.6 and the same fix.
