Have you done a KDE upgrade recently, more info on what you did before 
the error would be helpful (to somebody smarter than I hopefully)

As far as I know running /sbin/SuSEconfig will never do any harm in 
itself.

Just means that there since you edited the file, SuSE won't mess with 
it. If you have installed a new version of the program associated w/ 
the file then there maybe new options available, so you should compare 
the files for yourself. That said, it is highly unlikely that the kdmrc 
file is your problem.

(I'm not much w/ the command line, there is undoubtably an easier way to 
do what I'm about to describe)

I'd try logging out of kde, 
log in w/ another window manager or tty

	rename /home/YOUR LOGIN/.kde/share/mimelnk 
to
	/home/YOUR LOGIN/.kde/share/mimelnkBAK

(rename rather than delete, then your changes are reversible if you 
don't like them)

then log out and back in to kde, your mimetypes SHOULD reset themself to 
the defaults.

I just tried this on a test login I have and it appeared to work, you 
will lose your mimetype customizations but that's what you're trying to 
do. You can add them back in as needed.

Hope this helps, if not then send the list more info about how you got 
into this mess
