It works for me on KDE 3.5.9 from Debian packages. In the worst case this is a 
distribution specific modifcation.

My guess is that most subscribers on this list are on KDE 3, at least I am.
Even those distributions which additionally package KDE 4 (some 4.0.x or a 4.1 
beta) mostly do this to let their users experiment with the new version in 
parallel to keeping the old one.

Really switching to KDE 4 is a bit tricky since one needs to have the 
same .kde directory to get all config migrated properly but then the config 
might become (depends on the application) unusable for the old version.

I am always using the version which comes from my distribtor, Debian, even if 
it would be a couple of minor versions behind (it usually isn't since I am on 
Debian SID/unstable).
In cases where they ship a new release, e.g. 3.x.0, I even consider waiting 
for the first or second update.

Since you are on OpenSUSE, they are going to ship what is mostly a KDE 4.1 
beta, but additionally try to get as many fixes from the head of development 
as possible, to provide an almost 4.1 final like stability.

If you are not in a hurry, I suggest waiting for the 4.1 final update, or even 
for 4.1.1 (which should be about a month later)

Cheers,
Kevin
