I don't understand what is "rolling distro" concept here.
When you use Tumbleweed and openSUSE project launch new release.
Should you *must* upgrade your system into new version such as 13.1?
After you continue get Tumbleweed updates for that? Or you stay at
12.3 Tumbleweed for example, and get updates after 2-3 weeks ago with
new updates? (As says Tumbleweed is empty now).
E.g: 12.3 -> Tumbleweed -> 13.1 -> Tumbleweed
or 12.3 -> Tumbleweed -> Wait 2-3 weeks -> Continue Tumbleweed.
Maybe should improve openSUSE wiki section about Tumbleweed for
everybody for understand better.
Anyway, I made a clean openSUSE 13.1 KDE's install and still continue
problem. I reported bug into Novell's bugzilla for somebody can help
me.

Now that Tumbleweed is empty, please try out 13.1 and see if the issue is there or not. If it is, please file a bug at bugzilla.novell.com
Tumbleweed empty = Reset to 13.1? Then it is indeed still not a rolling release. :-(
It rolled forward to 13.1, which seems like the definition of a rolling release to me...
As long as Tumbleweed does not contain more actual packages than factory at release, resp. the newly released version, this is OK. But mostly this is the case, so we get a downgrade of most packages.
I was using Tumbleweed on 12.1 (or was it 12.2?), and the release of a new version of openSUSE forced a downgrade of most packages, including several issues. So I went for a new installation, and kept away from Tumbleweed
"most" packages? What ones specifically? git and the kernel and vim were the only ones that I knew of that this happened to.
And it will continue to happen, as Tumbleweed does pick up newer versions for some packages than the "release" has in them, due to when the release is "frozen" in time. That's just how the build process goes.
If you can think of a better way to manage all of this, please let me know.
On the other hand, I would love to have an early stable upgrade, e.g. to come around the nasty suspend bug, that turns my laptop into an electrical heater (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=826945), which is still existing in the current kernel version of 12.3.
But I feel the process on release change needs some tuning. If it works in the current version, I would be happy to hear.
It works for me, specifics on how it doesn't work for you, or anyone else, would be appreciated.
thanks,
