as confused as you seem to be, it is time to get terms straightened out; you didn't "reboot" to runlevel 5, rebooting is restarting your computer, you "changed/init" to runlevel 5.
No, in fact I rebooted, taking a timeout to empty my bladder and make a cup of tea for the next time. Confusion is one thing, jumping to conclusions is quite another. And making an issue of trivia is different entirely.
and found a desktop that looks normal except for the absence of a panel and the immobility of the mouse cursor.
panel probably not there because the "layout" is not set to ?? or your ~/.kde4 exists as you ?previously? had it.
Apparently not. Read further.
Now, having seen your message, I booted to level 3, ran zypper ps again, and found the happy news that there are no files that depended on deleted files, so all has now been cleaned.
Then I rebooted to level 5 again,
no.
Why "no"?
which is where it is now.
The desktop is incomplete, missing the Desktop Folder window, but the panel is present.
??, this is a configuration setting.
I interpret as meaning that the boot process is not yet complete, and has got stuck. The reason I think this is that the progress gauge, although close to its maximum length, has not been dismissed. This seems reasonable to me.
The chameleon is still there, as is the progress gauge under it, which seems to be fully extended. The mouse cursor, after several boots, is still frozen.
sounds like X is lockedup/crashed.
