Fair point oh wait midori works on ubuntu in jaunty and karmic :P That's
because it package correctly.  Have a look at redhat too I believe
midori is being considered as default browser for xfce so again it
should just install.  I got a feeling dude that this might just be down
to a poorly executed package creation which happens.  So I hope you
filed a bug against it in the opensuse bug traker like the good oss guy
that you are? :)

Hope that helps pete but probably not that much :)
