Additional Notes on Razor-qt on openSUSE 12.1: Touchpad and Wireless manager

Surprsingly, Razor-qt lightweight desktop environment doesn't follow basic KDE settings already configured.  One of the affected settings is the touchpad, which needs to be enabled manually when logging in to Razor-qt.  After installing Razor-qt, enable the touchpad tapping using KDE Personal Settings, which can still be accessed via ALT+F2 or Razor-qt menu.

Users will have to enable touchpad settings when logged into Razor-qt.

Razor-qt also doesn't include its own wireless manager.  Razor-qt allows the use of Ubuntu's default wireless manager as well as Gnome Network Manager when installed on Ubuntu 11.10 or earlier.  Unfortunately, Razor-qt makes  it difficult to run and access wireless networks via KDE Network Manager.  Without KDE Network Manager, users can use the Network module to scan and add detected wireless access points but will have to resort to Konsole or switch to traditional Ifup to log in to wireless networks.

KDE Network Connection doesn't work properly without a manager  in Razor-qt.  Install wicd or a different wireless manager.

However, users can opt to install wicd or the Gnome Network Manager, both of which work well in an OpenBox environment.
