SuSE is the name it came with, now it's Novel SuSE. As for dumping KDE in the US, bag that. Leave the choice to the user. Don't pull a Microsoft and force one choice. And before you say anything, I will qualify with this, yes the user can go and download KDE and install it, but why? If all other distros have both and allow the option and choice why not SuSE?

I am a SuSE user and I prefer KDE over Gnome any day. And Enlightenment over all for sure. I have yet after 6 years of trying, to get Gnome to work 100% on any of my systems. All of which are specifically custom built to run Linux. But my KDE and Enlightenment installs work 100% of the time.
