Hi, Is there any error reported in your .xsession-error. As awesome even start on the fallback config, I think it's a more serious error than a configuration one. Probably missing some dependancies. I don't know OpenSuse, and it's package management...
For the compilation, it's right that the file is called libcairo0.so. To better manage libraries update, many libs are called libfoo.x.y.z.so and then the system does some symbolic name libfoo.x.so and libfoo.so to the first file. Without the compilation output, it's hard to guess if it fails because it's not the right version of cairo, or if it doesn't find the cairo lib at all. We need more info to help you...
