KDE's system sounds do work when logged into KDE as root, but not as any
I assume you are *not* using pulseaudio?
As you might have inferred from inclusion of libpulse* in OP, pulseaudio is not installed
Because in that case it looks like a permission issue.
Little doubt in my mind there is at least one permissions problem in that installation.
What's it take to get normal KDE users to have any sounds, and access to YaST2?
You're describing two different issues, I think. I can't reproduce either so I'm not sure.
While on the surface it seems obvious no YaST and no sound should be unrelated problems, the facts that root does have sound and su is broken for YaST for non-root makes it look likely there is some connection between the problems. I have no idea whether or if system sounds are possible in Icewm, but when I try to open YaST there, a small empty su xterm window opens, then closes. Changelog for util-linux indicates in October config files for su were migrated from coreutils to util-linux. That changelog entry refers to https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=814626 which is classified as a Gnome bug, but discusses pam. From reading of comment 17 there, maybe that move is broken for systems upgraded from a previous milestone, as evidenced by the .rpmnew files in /etc/pam.d/ here. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
