Will it be necessary for every new user of KDE to go and study all of this documentation? And how would I have searched for the appropriate key words, such as "KDE seems totally broken"?
No, but its basic documentation that is easily findable with Google. How basic does http://opensuse-guide.org/kde.php fail to be? It says "opensuse" and it says "kde" in the url and it shows up in a google search for that with "13.1" and "getting started" and stuff. The KDE portal at opensuse.org http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:KDE is easily findable from the home page. There you will find "Introduction to KDE4" as the FIRST item under documentation. That page explicitly says: "If there are problems that are not automatically detected, it is possible to use Shift+Alt+F12 to temporarily suspend and resume composition" All this is not hard to find if a) you don't start off with an antagonistic attitude b) you have a little patience and little skill with google to track down obvious leads. But starting off with the premise that KDE is broken is not going to help you in a search. Quite obviously if thousands of other people can run it without the problems you faced because of a choice you made at installation and configuration mistake it can't be 'totally' broken. As others have said, addressing us here in that antagonistic manner is unhelpful. Googling on the same basis is unhelpful. -- You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers.
