You would be better off with opensuse-kde or opensuse mail lists.

It looks like logout menu after login in runlevel 3 and startx. 
Try as root: 
  init 5 && exit
That will bring you in rulevel 5 where logout has other options.

Have you checked that icon exist in /opt/kde3/share/icons for the size that is 
selected? For instance /opt/kde3/share/icons/crystalsvg/32x32/filesystems .

As fast check you can create new user and start his session to see does that 
user have folder icon. If yes, than I would compare settings in 
  Personal Settings > Appearance & Themes
for both users.
