I too have SuSE 9.0 with the SuSE 'supplementary' KDE RPMs installed and
see this same problem. Here is my backtrace, which seems pretty similar
to the one above:

Downloaded the new KDE 3.2 Stable SuSE rpms install went fine no errors. Knotify is now working thanks a lot for your hard work. I just have to get the Konsole working for the users, because it comes up blank with no prompt, I have tried to use Kdesu Konsole command but su's path cannot be found. And I have to try and fix the problem with xcursor, we are using the tuxcursor and it works fine in kdm and gdm but as soon as you reach the KDE desktop the cursor changes back to the plain black version, as soon as you click the logout button tuxcursor comes back. The cursor works fine in Gnome.
