What obscure settings? My soundcard stopped working after the KDE 3.2 
final (Santa Cruz/Turtle Beach with the CS4614/22/24 CrystalClear 
SoundFusion Accelerator driver). Good thing I still had my old SB120, 
which works fine.

No, they look fine to me. Other then the sound card incident, I had no 
problems at all getting 3.2 installed. I even installed it while 
being in KDE. Yast took care of all dependencies.

I would guess that these icons were provided by kdebase3-SuSE, which  
had to be removed. When you go to the creator of the Crystal icons 
website (www.everaldo.com) and download and install the Crystal SVG 
set, you get them all back. You'll have two entries of the same icon 
set in your control panel though. If that bothers you, you might be 
able to just overwrite the Crystal folder (it's 
on /opt/kde3/share/icons) with the new icon set.

I removed the link to SuSE help a while ago, now when I call susehelp 
a konqueror window pops up with all sorts of links, but no search. My 
guess, it was probably included in kdebase3-SuSE.

It's really too bad that SuSE packed all those little things in a 
package which is dependent on KDE 3.1.x.
