I've finally upgraded my main computer to 11.3 w/KDE4 - actually a clean install of 11.3 in a fresh partition, and a new /home/$USER so nothing from 11.2 is interfering. I can still boot to 11.2 as a comparison.
The problem is... 11.3 is periodically freezing. The lock or freeze never lasts more than a few seconds, but its long enough that if I'm typing an email when it happens, several words won't be entered... when the lock/freeze happens my system fans go from idle to full power and I see a CPU spike start in my system monitor - I say start because the actual spike never gets shown on the graph since the computer is 100% unresponsive during the freeze.
Changes made since the clean install - full base update, added the Community repos and added a few extra apps (GStreamer, VLC, Thunderbird, VirtualBox, Wine, SpiderOak). I also installed the latest nVidia driver (which meant I had to set Kernel/No_KMS_IN_INITRD to yes, and add nomodeset brokenmodules=nouveau to Bootloader/DEFAULT_APPEND).
If it would not happen with the binary nvidia driver I would guess you are seeing http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=597078 but maybe you are just the first to encounter it with the binary nvidia driver.
