Previously to KDE4, KDE on SuSE was installed in the /opt directory, which stands for "optional" as a desktop/window manager in Linux (or nix back in the day) didn't need a gui and therefore it was (and by a few still is) considered "optional". RedHat always defaulted to Gnome and it was installed in the /usr dir, and the same for the other desktops/windows managers - in RH they default to the /usr directory - Only SuSE used the /opt directory for the desktop root directory.
