I've been doing upgrades since KDE2 times and the only time I had to redo some 
things was at the KDE3 to KDE4 transition (some folder specific settings 
didn't get converted properly).

Are you doing this on the same machine or did you copy the data somehow?

If the latter, did you make sure all files have the correct ownership and 
access rights?

I am not sure if SUSE changed any paths, but also check whether there is a 
difference in where KDE stores things.
Some distributions changed from $HOME/.kde to $HOME/.kde4 and some even back 
again.

If the upgrade you are doing has such a change, you'll probably have to 
restore you backup first outside of KDE and then rename the directory to match 
the new path requirement.

Cheers,
Kevin
