/etc/kde-profile and /opt/kde3 _ARE_ the profile directories so any setting 
that you change for profile1 would for example be stored 
in /opt/kde3/share/config/kdeglobals

At least that's what is supposed to happen :-)

It will use ~root/.kde-test/... as temporary location and then copy it to the 
profile. ~root/.kde-test/ is normally not used by the root user.

Your choice of /opt/kde3 for your profile is a bit unfortunate though since 
settings under /opt/kde3 will be used for everyone by default.

If you use the SUSE KDE packages they will use /etc/kde3rc and you don't need 
to do anything. If you have compiled KDE yourself it will use /etc/kderc and 
you should symlink that file to /etc/kde3rc.
