I really would like to install the KDE 4 system status plasmoid (I can’t function properly without a system monitor of some sort, but my attempts at installing the plasmoid (both via enabling the KDE:4 Community repo and the one-click-install) have failed. Using the one-click-install from the openSUSE Software Search (for openSUSE 11.0) gave me a dependency conflict with the following output.

What am I doing wrong here? I know I have seen this and other plasmoids on KDE user screenshots.Should I just downgrade and hope for the best? Should I try installing the plasmoid from the Factory branch?
Note: The KDE 4 desktop was installed via the One-Click link from the openSUSE newsletter a while back (I believe it is from KDE4:Factory).
That particular build of the plasmoid you are attempting to install was compiled against the KDE4.0 branch, but you have KDE4.1 installed along with it’s associated libs. I would not downgrade as you mentioned else you will go back to a KDE4.0 desktop. Try the plasmoid from the Factory repo and post back with any errors you might get.
not a fix, but maybe an alternative solution: I use the Oxygen 0.4 System Monitor with Superkaramba to avoid the KDE version hassle (which I expect to continue for quite a while).
