You can't.  SUSE Linux 9.1 Professional is based on Gnome 2.4, whereas
XD2 is Gnome 2.2.  It would be a downgrade.

FWIW, a number of Ximian patches from XD2 were incorporated into SUSE's
Gnome in time for 9.1, which also includes the current stable version of
Evolution (again, only for Professional).
