I had two problems after the install.

- Most of my screensavers disappeared, but I found the solution quickly by
googling for 'kde 3.3 AND screensavers' - it seems that you have to set a
couple of symlinks to the correct screensaver directories (a little bug in
the SUSE builds perhaps). I'm sorry but I did not save the link to the
symlink advice.

- Desktop switching by clicking on the pager applet in Kicker stopped
working after a while, and worked again after logging out of KDE and in
again. Then the desktop switching would stop working once more after a
while.

The solution in my case seems to be to remove the pager applet from Kicker
and add the applet again, at least I have not experienced this problem
after removing and adding the pager. I have seen more kicker related
problems in this forum so it might be worth trying to remove the offending
kicker element and add it again. Maybe there are subtle differences in the
kicker config file(s) between KDE 3.2 and 3.3.
