if you open up a console, like with `konsole`, and type the command
'krdc' and hit enter, what does it output, errors or something like
command not found?

krdc: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libkio.so.5: undefined symbol:
_ZN11KConfigB ase8rollbackEb


Of course I have no idea what this means! :-(

polly, while you are using kde-3.5.9, did you install anything from the
kde4 section? reason i ask is that now there are two very different
versions of krdc, as kde is making the transition from kde3 -> kde4

do this, from your console run the following and reply with output:
"rpm -qf /usr/lib/libkio.so.5"
"rpm -qf $(which krdc)"

alrighty, then that may be the problem,
first attempt to satisfy the first complaint,
if you use 'smart' package manager, then from the command line(as root)
smart install libkde4

if the package isn't installed, it will install it, if it is installed,
then it will upgrade it if available

if you don't use smart, then through the yast software management,
search for libkde4, and upgrade/install it.

if that doesn't fix anything then you could try the same on krdc, the
kde3 suse package for krdc is "kdenetwork3-vnc", the kde4 package for
its krdc is "kde4-krdc"
you can try installing/upgrading those packages as well
