desktop. Where do I kill (for all users and for good to avoid problems to come) this 4? I tried to remove it from within YaST, but I don't know how to handle the smiley...

Verner, I had Kde3 and Kde4 installed side by side and solved the problem in stages. First I removed all the basic kde stuff with numeral 4 on it. That leaves a lot of minor things but gets rid of the biggies.. Next I deleted the rest. Usually when you get the dependency thing it gives you the option to delete a batch of more kde4 things,, on mine that was usually the second choice. If in doubt, dont delete.

One thing I noticed is kde4 will replace some of the kde3 apps like games so those will have to be reinstalled. After about 4 iterations of this delete procedure I successfully removed all kde4 and got my 3 back. You will probably have to go into the login setup to make kdm your default manager.

BTW, if you have a blank screen or no kicker panel after you start, from a command line (ALT-F2) do kcontrol and unhide the panel and reselect the panel configuration. Mine went away for some reason but that got it back.

Hi list and Richard, - followed your advise, I'm back to normal. Phew... - On KDE4, BTW, when you log off from a remote NX session, the gray "log out" screen is able to *nearly* hang your local desktop. Not so with KDE3.. But I'm back and can now get on with the installation.
