Thanks Raymond, that's kind of what I was leaning towards. Not looking forward to it - the seemingly recursive dependencies seem difficult to resolve, but I'll give it a go. At worst, I can always reinstall, but I'd rather not lose all of my personal settings if I can help it.
A normal installation would put the home filesysetm on a separate partition on your disk. This would mean that even a new installation or a reinstallation would not have any effect on your home directory. (Unless you choose to format it, etc).

Yes, you're right. Not only /home, but being an old-schooler I also have /root, /boot, /downloads, /data and /usr/local as separate filesystems (some of which live on separate physical disks). Unfortunately, even disabling all of the repos except the core openSuSE 13.2 repo, zypper dup got into an endlessly looping cycle of recursive dependencies, so it looks like a reinstall is my only real option. :( Oh, well - that will have to wait until I have a few spare hours with no other demands (which are very, very rare these days). Funny, transparency works exactly as it used to if I start up lxde instead of KDE. I can even watch TV with Kaffeine without it going black screen as soon as it loses focus in lxde.
