Following multimedia checklist in openSuSE forums, entered " LC_ALL=C zypper
ve" on root CLI. Some versioning anomalies detected, with a reasonable-seeming
choice of upgrading from 4.1.96 something to 4.2.xx something (Details not
available at the moment). 
Restart X via Ctl-Alt-Bs-Bs, relogin to 4.2 --> no desktop, gray screen, KDE
crash handler window appears. It requested sending in a detailed report, so
here's the output:

--------end of crash window output  ------
This is repeatable.

Apparently, I am in a unstable versioning situation. The Konqueror About window
reports as follows:
" Konqueror
Version 4.1.96 (KDE 4.1.96 (KDE 4.2 RC1)) "release 78.1"
Using KDE 4.2.00 (KDE 4.2.0) "release 82.2""

Rerunning the "LC_ALL=C zypper ve" command brings the report: "Dependencies of
all installed packages are satisfied.". Reassuring.

I will see what other windowing systems are available on the system, the better
to sort out what is wrong with KDE 4.2 now.
