I found that adding Packman to your Installation Source
Yast -> Software -> Installation Source
Server Name: 		packman.rsync.zmi.at
Directory on Server: 	/suse/10.0
Authentication:		Anonymous

To be ONE way to activate working Kaffeine support.
Ofcourse the standard disclaimers apply, only install from trusted
