I don't think so. KDE4 is pretty... well... you know....

You can always disable the pathetic attempt at composite in KDE and go
back to using compiz. Then you can do a thousand more useful things like
running NX/rdp sessions on each face and still spin the cube (something I doubt
you'll ever be able to do with KDE4).

I do just that (NX) and spin the cube the way I want in EeePC 900.
It has six faces and it spins both x and y axels.

Default installation of 11.2/KDE.

I can't use a cube, because it won't let me have an 18-faced object
other than a wheel, but I can spin it around both the x and y axis. It
still lets me see the various VNC and NX sessions while spinning.

I'm using KDE4.3.4 from the KDE4.3 repo. Don't think there's all that
much difference between the default KDE4.3.1 and KDE4.3.4.

If you want to spin the cube with just Kwin, its Ctrl-F10, I believe.
Otherwise to use the mouse, you need compiz.
I'm not in Suse right now, but the one-click install works on 11.2KDE.
