Atri,.

Can you check "ps afx" to see if this is not just the gconf schema uninstall taking forever?

Thanks Atri,

the interesting part out of the log is:

 3609 pts/2    S+     0:00  |   \_ zypper rm compiz-gnome
 3617 pts/2    S+     0:00  |       \_ rpm --root / --dbpath /var/lib/rpm -e --allmatches --nodeps -- compiz-gnome-0.9.0-3.5.x86_64
 3618 pts/2    S+     0:00  |           \_ /bin/sh /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.31UF2E 0
 3676 pts/2    R+     0:01  |               \_ usr/bin/gconftool-2 --makefile-uninstall-rule usr/share/GConf/schemas/compiz-fade.schemas


Which confirms that it is actually running, and 'hanging' on gcfontool-2 (it's not hanging, but it is processing a good bunch of schemas:
rpm -ql compiz-gnome | grep schemas | wc -l
33

For each of those, gconftool-2 is started and has to updated caches.

As such: This is a duplicate of 546543.
