If you add and update to these repos you'll get KDE4.6.2:

I'm using this now, and it has a different array of minor bugs, but a lot of the old ones are fixed.

Many thanks, C, for this. I shall attempt this act of bravery - and "jump off the cliff top" :-) - tomorrow.
Haha... it's not a long fall. There are spikes at the bottom though :-) Overall, KDE4.6.2 works better than 4.6.0. I don't have any problems using VLC in KDE4.6.2. I've bumbled into a few minor bugs/issues. Some are my own fault, some are known bugs, some are not related to the version of KDE4 (ie they are general 11.4 bugs), etc. Nothing so far is what I'd consider a showstopper. For those of us without Master's Degree in *The Advanced Chaos Theory*, updating to the most current KDE4 builds isn't too hard. 1. Start YaST > Software Repositories and click Add > Specify URL > Next 2. Copy paste the first repository URL and give it a name that makes sense to you. Repeat for the second and third URL. 3. Select (one at a time) each of the new repos in the Configured Software Repository list and set the Priority to a number less than the default 99 (for example set to 20). 4. Click OK, and import any GPG certificates as requested. 5. Click on Software Management. 6. Select View > Repositories and then click on the new Repositories tab. 7. Click on each of the 3 new repositories you've added and click on Switch system packages (I suggest you click on the main KDE4.6.2 repo first to avoid a lot of error resolving) 8. Update your install. I do this by clicking on @System, and then Package > All in this list > update if newer version available This all of course can be done at the CLI using zypper. Oh, and make sure if you're using a nVidia card plus binary driver, that you've got the latest version of the driver installed. There have been issues with some of the recent drivers. I'm using the latest from here: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=122606 on a 64 Bit install and not having any issues.
