has this problem been resolved or is it still not a good idea not to do an up-grade from the factory repos?

You have to track the factory mail list to learn of all known issues as
they are discovered. I think that factory is fine now, as fine as an
Alpha version can be, that is.

thanks very much
I think something broke gdm. I will recheck after I update some more packages.
Gnome is still broken, both gnome-shell and gdm.

it is advisable to expect factory to always be broken.
sure, their might be days (or a few hours in the day) when everything
in factory is cool…but, those hours could be few and far between
especially during the PRE-beta days of Milestone releases…
if you want the latest might-work grab a copy from the latest
milestone, of 12.3 here http://software.opensuse.org/developer/
factory is newer (less tested and more buggy) than any milestone and
at any moment may be broke as broke can be!
on the other hand, if you want the latest probably-works, look to
Tumbleweed…
if you want the latest usually-works install 12.2 and use YaST Online
Update or “zypper patch” NOT “zypper up” and certainly NOT “zypper dup”
if you want the latest dependable use one of the SLEDs or maybe 12.1,
11.4 Evergreen, 11.2 Evergreen or . . .
ymmv

I did a fresh intall using the most recent live kde cd (dated the 2/12) and it worked fine besides an error message about starting the firewall. Did a factory update and all worked fine.
The new theme is lovely and the preview version of kde 4.10 looks promising.
That is nice for you, but has nothing to do with the warning above from more then a month ago. As explained above, Factory can change more time a day and thus you can have something that works for you. But others may have severe problems when they follow you in using Factory without understanding what Factory is for.
