That's what I meant - SuSE is gradually substituting some parts of KDE 3 with 
parts of KDE 4, or mixing them, or their install system does not work 
correctly, anyway you get two System settings, and you don't know any more 
what is controling what. I have in my "K-menu" both "System settings 
(Configure Desktop)" -> kcontrol (KDE 3) and  "System settings (Configure 
Desktop)" -> systemsettings (KDE 4). You can start both at the same time and 
guess at who controls what. When I run "System settings", I get for some 
tools (like Configure the window behaviour) a "shared library not found".

So the whole thing is a mess. They will justify it by the fact that 3.5.x is 
in the "other" choice of graphical environments, while the "official" 
and "stable" choice is 4.2.
