I recently downloaded a bunch of kde4 rpms via yast2. It took awhile and when finished I thought I would try it. Question is "how"! I have not found anything like startkde4. I already was aware of the new kde4 location other than /opt. What is the trick? Also is it reasonable to assume it could replace kde3 binaries and menus -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email: " n5xwb@hal-pc.org " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " n5xwb@arrl.net " VoIP via Gizmo: bmw_87kbike / via Skype: n5xwbg BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316 Did you know?

I haven't tried this in the last couple of alphas, but it should still work this way: in the graphical login screen, click Session (lower left corner) before you type your password. You should see KDE4 as an option. Right now, the two versions of KDE can sit side by side. I'm not sure if the KDE4 apps are sufficiently stable to replace KDE3 just yet, but I suspect it's getting pretty close.

Take a look at http://en.opensuse.org/KDE4 If you have 'kdebase4-session' installed then it should appear as one of the sessions in KDM/GDM as Mike has said. For 10.3 it looks like 3.5 is going to be the default, but it will ship with some KDE4 apps which are sufficiently stable (i.e. kdegames). The KDE4 session will be available, however.
