I presume this survey is performed in an elective a poll-type fashion? If it doesnt exist already, I think that at least in the next version of OpenSUSE, you should have some sort of part of the install procedure that reports the desktop being used to a centralized database, and finds out how long the installation has been "alive". This at least should happen every time the system does a zypper update. That would allow you to have a more accurate census of how many OpenSUSE boxes exist in the wild and what UI is being utilized.

Just out of curiosity, where does the openSUSE project have metrics that prove that "Most openSUSE users use KDE"?
We do a regular user survey - the last one is here:
http://files.opensuse.org/opensuse/en/e/ec/Survey_openSUSE110.pdf
KDE3 38.5% 4007 KDE4 29.8% 3109 GNOME 26.9% 2799
Combined, KDE had 68.3%
Best,
