I have the latest version of KDE in the Suse 10.2 repositories (KDE 3.5.7 release 60.1) and Kappfinder seems to have disappeared. It's supposed to be in one of the base packages, but I can't find it.
I have KDE version 3.5.5 installed on another computer, and it Kappfinder is present and working.
It's supposed to be in kdebase, but maybe you distro has split up the package into smaller components. In that case the package would've been called just 'kappfinder'.
Also do a 'locate kappfinder' in your shell to confirm it is actually somewhere on your harddisk.
I think I know a little more about this now. I think it is supposed to be in the piece of the Suse 10.2 distro called kdebase3-extra. However, it disappeared some time between the time Suse packaged KDE version 3.5.5 and 3.5.7. I was able to install the older version and get it.
However, it was a bit of an anticlimax, since it didn't set up menu items for most of the stuff I was interested in, and that I know is on there, like the Python interpreter. Oh well....
I just noticed that kappfinder was AWOL. I agree that it was less than ideal for adding apps to the menu, but it was better than nothing, which is what we have now.
I filed a bug report and was told that it was Suse's bad. In the end, for me it wasn't worth the trouble of hunting down the problem and installing the older version to get it back.
