It sounds like you’re maybe missing the Nautilus package, I believe that
provides the desktop icons. You might also need to install metacity for
the window decorations.

Both nautilus and metacity show up checked = to be installed (automatically included) in Suse Studio

Hi!
First of all be aware that if you in Susestudio/Configuration/Desktop enable autologin for user tux then the user tux will always automaticly login, even after installation of your image…
This means that if you enable autologin for your new user then both tux and your new user will always log in at boot!
Second, be very aware that if you don’t change tux’s UID to something else than 1000 both tux and you new user created during installation will have the same UID…
Finally, I had similar problems as you are having (no titlebar, no icons etc), but I also got errors about ICEauthority and gconf-sanity-checks … I had to make a little script so that every time the image boots it runs the script… Now it’s not sure this script will help you at all, but you can try it anyway…
This scripts makes sure that metacity is the default window manager and makes sure that the file /var/lib/gdm has the correct owner:group… .
There might be better ways to fix your problems, and I’m not sure if compiz will successfully replace metacity as windowmanager (if you need compiz) as long as i’m doing: echo export WINDOW_MANAGER=/usr/bin/metacity > /home/live/.gnomerc … I have not tested yet.
#!/bin/bash
#
# This script is executed whenever your appliance boots. Here you can add
# read in some variables
. /studio/profile
if -f /etc/init.d/suse_studio_firstboot ]
then
# Put commands to be run on the first boot of your appliance here
echo "Trying to fix gnome related gconf errors.."
echo export WINDOW_MANAGER=/usr/bin/metacity > /home/live/.gnomerc
chown gdm:gdm -R /var/lib/gdm
touch /etc/init.d/suse_studio_firstboot
fi
exit 0
