And I read the article finally in machine translation. The author just 
criticizes Trinity
for instability caused by the translation to tqtinterface and advises to use 
Debian Lenny
with the original KDE 3.5.10 and security fixes.

I can agree with the author on this issue: Trinity is indeed quite unstable now 
that's why
I would not recommend including the current Trinity release in openSUSE.

In this blog a user describes that he installed himself openSUSE just to test 
how it works
with KDE3, and found it working very well. He admits that Debian's Trinity is 
less stable,
but says he is more accustomed with Debian:

He proposed himself as a translator to Russian and Esperanto to the Trinity 
team.
