Aha. Well, at first synaptic gave me a syntax error in apt.conf, so I assumed 
it was the right place. Apparently not.

I found that in my local repository, but the labels on all components are the 
same (i.e. SuSE). Can I set the label in my repository's configuration file? 
What is the xml-notation for that? And can I set a different label for each 
component?

I noticed that the buttons are colored in GNOME. Nice, because I missed that

This is a theme issue. I switched to GNOME and I was unable to verify it.

BTW, what is the key sequence to get a 'kill-window'-cursor? On KDE it is 
<Ctrl>+<Alt>-<Esc>...
