Thanks for the missing link about why I couldn't do the KDE upgrade

learn about downloading the relevant files from the KDE site and
doing it that way.

There are a *lot* of them, you know. I'd stick with rebuilding the
kernel myself (:

Yes, I see that this is quite an involved process, hence my initial
investigations into the possibility of doing so didn't progress
further than reading the faqs on the kde site. That sort of thing
isn't realistic for me right now, and clicking a few check boxes in
yast is no challenge either. Some middle ground for me and a degree
of patience while I learn some more and make a few more mistakes is
what I need right now...
Cheers,

I'd go by Ross's suggestion - build a non-essential and fairly simple
addition to your system as a starting point. The compile time alone for
KDE is probably measurable in days!
( Being biased, you could always download the tarball off
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=128143&package_id=140304
- you'll need to install Berkeley DB and STLport as well )
