for kde and gnome updates, try adding these to your installation sources 
and moving them up to the top:
ftp source: mirror.mcs.anl.gov
directories:
pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.1/yast-source
pub/suse/i386/supplementary/GNOME/update_for_9.1/yast-source

generally i find all the rpms i need here:
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/2/simple/2

of course dependencies can start stacking up pretty quickly with 
standalone rpms. always find myself torn between suse, which i use at 
home for it's slickness and better interaction between programs, and 
debian at work which makes updating much simpler and easier to 
configure. much of a muchness really, although i am finding myself 
leaning more and more towards debian, much to my colleague's sneering 
delight!

for what it's worth, i played around red carpet and apt4rpm on suse 9.0 
and never again. by the time 9.1 came out there was such a dependency 
mess that i had to wipe and do a fresh install. 9.2 out early november 
as far as i know.
