Sorry guys, I was trying to be too smart. I simply noticed tdebase contains some more packages than I wanted so I picked up the essentials one -- TWin, Kicker, KmServer, and so on.
Probably there is one with benign name which does the trick, because after your replies (thank you once again), I installed entire tdebase meta package and this time it kicked in properly.
So thank you and sorry for making noise.
Your welcome and you had a valid question, no apologies needed. Quite frankly, it’s vary rare if anyone on the list gets grumpy at any question.
There are ways to install much less of the TDE desktop than the whole thing. Well, the meta-package actually doesn’t install everything either. I know many of the non-essential apps like games, tea timers, and such aren’t.
The openSUSE people should be able to point you in that direction if you want to try again for a lighter install.
Unless openSUSE has named the packages in a nonstandard way, tdebase pretty much is the minimal set—it's the core desktop components plus tdm, konqueror, kate, ksysguard, and konsole. Those aren't all absolutely essential, but most people will want the functionality, if not the exact program.
For what it's worth, my system identifies the session file as being part of the tdebase-starttde package (note that I'm on Gentoo, though).
