This is what I have just done ...
1. As a user became root (su) and typed 'init 3'.
This was necessary if you were going to run sax2 to fix your second display.

As root? < snipped > Is kde working?
Did it error out? or did it complete and rebuild the rpm database? If its
full of choices you probably
haven't upgraded anything.

Rats. What is in your sources.list? here's mine ... (without the server stuff) usr-local-bin base update-prpm update kde xfree86 extra funktronics packman packman-i686 suse-people security-prpm security If yours is different, add what you don't have and rerun apt-get update, or synaptic update. <snipped >
Were you able to log into gnome after the ximian removal? or was this the first time you tried it?
-- I haven't been able to log into gnome since the ximain removal
Do you have gnome installed? I forget what you did after you got rid of ximian. Did you install it with yast2? You may want to use yast to install gnome. <snipped>
you might be able to find them using the command James told you about when you were looking for the ximian rpms, or search through with synaptic.
-- How do I do this?
Try changing "rpm -qa | grep ximian" to rpm -qa | grep 3.1.1 or kde if that doesn't work . I'd search in synaptic for kde. Then remove the 3.1.1 packages.
If you find some remove them.
-- How do I do this?
I'd use synaptic or kpackage. I believe its rpm -e "package name". You may need -nodeps or some other argument (Please use synaptic until someone confirms this!!!!!!!!) thats why I like to use the graphic interface, there's less chance of screwing up.
Then use synaptic and individually select all the kde 3.1.3 packages.
Then the gnome stuff.
Try to copy any error messages ...
