Sounds like you got bit with a bug. Your display manager (KDM) and
window manager (KDE) got reset to defaults (XDM and twm). SUSE is
aware
of this, I believe, but I haven't seen a published patch yet. In the
meantime, make the following edits (as root):

/etc/sysconfig/displaymanager Line 9:
DISPLAYMANAGER="xdm", should be
DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm"

/etc/sysconfig/windowmanager Line 9:
DEFAULT_WM="twm", should be
DEFAULT_WM="kde"

You can also change this in:

YaST Control Center -System -/etc/sysconfig Editor -Desktop

and then make the changes under 'Display manager' and 'Window
manager'.

Restart the X server with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace *or*:

su
(enter root password)
init 3

then:

init 5
