*Some users have been adding additional QT repositories – But this is not necessary.

What about KDE 4 (KDE 4.2) Playground repo's? What are the contents of the 'Playground' repositories ?

EDIT Re: Package Name Changes
When updating please be aware that some packages have changed name. When kde4 was released the transition required packages be prefixed kde4 (eg: kde4-amarok). However, this practice has now largely been dropped, and the prefix has switched to kde3 (eg; kde3-amarok) and kde4 packages just go by the package name with no prefix.

Updating a 4.1.3 system may require you actually delete packages such as kde4-amarok and just install amarok. Other packages to mention a few, gwenview, digikam, k3b.

Post questions in a new thread in the forum: openSUSE Forums

Regards installing KDE 3 & KDE 4 together, is the method (quoted below) given at (KDE/KDE4 - openSUSE) still valid, even after the KDE 3 & KDE 4 packages have been renamed ?

KDE 3 and KDE 4 The KDE4 packages install into the /usr prefix, so KDE3 and KDE4 can safely be installed at the same time.
To prevent the accidental starting of KDE4 applications within a KDE3 session add at the top of /opt/kde3/bin/startkde

PATH=/opt/kde3/bin:${PATH/:\/opt\/kde3\/bin} export PATH

If you are using another window manager then adding this line to the .bashrc file should also load the correct applications.
This has been already done in the Factory and KDE:KDE3 packages which also contain some other minor patches for better co-existence with KDE4 (may need to run kbuildsycoca --noincremental once to become fully active).
