I'm not sure about how to change the window manager in SuSe, but I think you should run the xwmconfig script from the commandline. If the script isn't there, just try startx<windowmanagername>. Example: startxxfce4 or startxfluxbox. As far as a new environment goes, I am a total freak for xfce. The new version (4.2) is absolutely wonderful, and I think it uses between 15% and 20% of the resources kde uses. You can even run most kde-specific programs under xfce. If you're running a slower computer, you might want to try something even more stripped down, such as fluxbox, blackbox, or fvwm. You just have to find the windowmanager that's right for you.
