install suse dvd/cd , during installation select either gnome or kde as
desktop manager ( at this moment in time it does not matter which one
you choose) make sure that when you create a user logon dont tick
automatic login ( to make it easier for yourself).
towards the end of the installation you are presented with a summary of
all things that suse is going to do to your computer.
there is an option called software, click on software and then on the
next screen select kde4. press save and complete installation.
once installation is completed you will be presented with logon
screen.
select other, towards the bottom of the logon screen you can now choose
between kde4 or gnome. type the username of the user you had created and
then password and voila.
Adding to this, I never changed desktop environment. So, if I have both
KDE 3.5.x and 4.x installed, and using 3.5 as default, how can I change
today to use 4.x and then to change back to 3.5 when I please and back
to 4.x etc?
I mean, changing KDEs back and forth with less hustle possible

It could be possible if you are login to kde 3.5
Just open a terminal and run plasma then you will be able to run both
in one shot

Does it mean kde 4 is not fully installed in your system?
I am using two monitors on one machine with xfce The first monitor is
using the xfce desktop and the other I use kde 4 sometimes to play with
it from the terminal with that command. In some of the screenshots
thread from the previous months I posted a screeny showing plasma
running from xfce.

Hmm… seems that it is not… when I tried to add, it woul downgrade
some kde4 packages from 4.1.x to 4.0.x, and will uninstall another bunch
or so…
maybe I will just forget about this for now.
