"properties" is the right direction. after propt. opens, you're in the "general" 
tab. on the left you see the icon that's presently displayed for the shortcut. 
just click on that icon, and you'll see... :)

don't think so either.

in kicker you don't only see your 'favorites,' but on the bottom there is a row of 
tabs. what you're looking for should be under "applications." in there you can 
navigate until you find your app., then do the right-click thing.

i think (from messages in mailing lists, etc.) that openSUSE wiki 
<http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Wiki> is supposed to be the future "userbase." it's 
under construction at the moment, and not  in a very advanced stage, at least re.  
content.
 
to get information & help, i'd recommend:

1. google. often useful with "site:opensuse.org" as start of the search query, 
limiting results to everything under opensuse.org. there are many good articles, 
but i couldn't say exactly where w/o searching. (i hope the wiki will make that 
easier in the future.)

2. forums & mailing lists:
<http://lists.opensuse.org/> (list of lists)
<http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Mailing_lists> (instructions how to subscribe, 
etc.)
