Use case: I want to create an appliance image for a build farm worker machine. I don't know its hardware configuration beforehand; in particular, it may have multiple network interfaces and I don't want to bother figuring out which is which. I will simply include network-autoconfig.rpm and plug the cable into any socket before booting.
network-autoconfig helps setting up machines with multiple network interfaces. At the first boot, all available Ethernet interfaces are cycled until one is successfully configured with DHCP.
I have submitted it to openSUSE:Factory now. Enjoy it in the upcoming openSUSE 11.4!
It is referenced as Feature#311012. You are welcome to improve it on Gitorious.

Solution:
Solution:
cp /usr/share/X11/twm/system.twmrc ~TODO: make it the default in openSUSE.
echo RandomPlacement >> ~/.twmrc
