I upgraded my gnome using the gui software manager, after that my gnome terminal wouldn't start, so i fired up an xterm and ran "gnome-terminal" from within. I got an error saying something about gtk being to old, a quick check for the version of gtk2 showed me that everything was upgraded except gtk2 package which was still at version 2.14, upgraded to 2.16 and now my gnome terminal works. The second problem was: when i tunrned on the effects, i could no see my close, maximze and minimize buttons, but if clicked around where there should be they worked, like i said above...."they where invisible" :). I added the X11:/Compiz repositorie, upgraded the compiz and now i can see them, except it's not using metacity, instead it use emerald. Changing the window border from appearence doesn't do anything. The third problem which still exist is an XKB error "Error activating XKB configuration.". I don't have to do anything to get it, it's free. It appeares everytime i log in. Other than this everything works like a charm. It was a fresh install using net cd and the default gnome selected.

But, i managed to solve the "invisible", "minimize, maximize and close" when the effects are turned on by adding the: "http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/Compiz/openSUSE_11.1/" repositorie and update the version of compiz. It use emerald instead of metacity, but at least i can see the buttons and it works. If someone who has a solution for the XKB error, posting it here would be greatly appreciated. thx Same problems as @Marcolino.
