I ve succesfully installed 11.2 on my desktop using Gnome
(I kept 11.1 on my system)
Ive tried to install the KDE using Yast (within Gnome) but halfway the connection failed, after continuing the download the KDE does not have a menubar and I cannot do anything.
I only have the KDE splashscreen.
Now (frome gnome) I would like to de/re-install the KDE but I cannot find What i should remove in yast, there is no KDEdesktop option to remove.
How can I reinstall the KDE

First you need to switch the Yast UI to QT

Now in Yast

Right click ‘Install’: kde4-base, kde4-desktop
Actually when you do that to either one of those it should auto mark everything.

Thanks
I reinstalled the KDE and do have a panel, but there are no systemicons on the bottom panel like sound, network etc.
The problem now is that from the KDE there is no network while Gnome has a working network connection.
adding the networkwidget it seems connected to eth0 but it is not.
What has gone wrong or is it normal NOT to have the systemicons in a bottompanel.
I assume you tried to run KDE on the old install. This may have created partial or miss-configured configuration scripts in your home. Delete the .kde4 directory so that KDE may reinitialize.
From gnome delete the ~/.kde folder ( pay attention to the period it makes files/folders hidden)
try restarting KDE
