Don't install the full KDE4.x tho, just individual packages. If you install the desktop for KDE4.x that takes over your KDE3.5 desktop so that doesn't work,as it did before you made that 4.x install . Even thought they are supposed to work independently, on my boxen it has proved not to do so Even leaving me w/ a basically unusable 3.5 desktop.
If this happens it is a packaging bug, which we are here to fix. Please don't suggest people workaround or ignore these issues - tell us about it and we'll get it fixed. Putting up and shutting up just lets the distro bitrot.
For instance KScreensaver disappeared, and tho the files are on the disk, they only show in the 4.x desktop. I even reinstalled the packages for KDE3.5 but they still do not appear, even tho the daemon is still running. I can do email(Kmail) listen to music w/ xmms ( sometimes it's "ify") and sometimes but not always web surf w/ Firefox and or Konqi .
Is this https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=447903 ? Your other issues are hard to pin down, but I wonder if PulseAudio on 11.1 is a factor in your multimedia problems? Can you be more specific about your web surfing problems? Will
