I assumed that since you wanted a YAST program for cron that you were looking 
to have cron jobs running as root for the whole system. You can run kcron as 
a regular user also. That's how I wake up in the morning with a cron job to 
play a song at 7 AM except on my two days off. But I have to make sure the 
box is logged in as me overnight, or (again I'm guessing here, I'm no expert) 
it won't go off.
