I'm sorry, I was writing my description from a Debian system since it 
is *mostly* the same.  "System Settings" is the name of the 
application used by upstream and Debian.  In openSuse, the name 
appears to be "Configure Desktop" or "Personal Settings".

I'm using the "Application Launcher" widget.  (The widget looks like 
a green geeko in a circular frame.)  "Configure Desktop" appears on 
my "Favorites" tab, my "Recently Used" tab, and at the very bottom of 
the "Applications" tab.

If you have further difficulty locating the configuration, make sure 
you have the systemsettings binary.  On my system it is from the 
package kdebase4-workspace-4.2.1-214.5.  You should be able to run it 
directly, even if it doesn't appear on your menus, by pressing Alt+F2 
and then typing "systemsettings" in the text box that appears and 
then pressing Enter or Return keys on your keyboard.
