I think I remember reading on the list that SuSE don't build their Qt/KDE 
with anti-aliasing enabled for some reason, so you found the way to get 
around this :-)

Try running qtconfig from the command line. In the 'Library Paths' tab, make 
sure that there is a path pointing to the KDE plugins directory 
($KDEDIR/lib/kde3/plugins by default, but SuSE might have something 
different; also, use the full path name, not the KDEDIR variable).
