Tried to upgrade an 11.1 system yesterday to 11.2, … disabled the current repositories and setup the 11.2 repositories, but after zypper dup, grub shows an 11.4 kernel!
Cannot start a Gnome session under my old user; tried deleting the .gnome directories under that user, no help; tried creating a new user and starting a Gnome session, nothing. After login, all I get is wallpaper - no desktop, no task bar, no mouse clicks enabled.
Is the upgrade borked or is there an issue with Gnome? How can I get a Gnome desktop?

What do you mean, 11.4 kernel, what is that? There is no such thing. Kernel is version 2.6.something.
If your system is reporting 11.4 somewhere, like in /etc/SuSE-release or SuSE-brand, or a comment in
grub, it means that you configured the wrong repos and upgraded to factory, not 11.3. If that is the
case, good luck. You may need a new install. Or attempt a downgrade to 11.3 via zypper dup with a
correct set of repos.
