For example: if I type PDF I got PDF Viewer Acrobat PDF Viewer Acrobat PDF Editor pdfedit PDF Editor pdfedit PDF Viewer KPDF/kde3 PDF Viewer KPDF/kde3 I wonder how I could fix this ? I found nowhere a resource file or database that would let me edit the entries or apply a script to correct the display that is showing that something is wrong...

It was fixed a long time ago. Man is the lowest-cost, 150-pound, nonlinear, all-purpose computer system which can be mass-produced by unskilled labor. -NASA in 1965

Because it hasn't happened since the beginning, this version of SuSE has worked two years at least before showing such troubles ^^ I'll try an upgrade (I hope it won't mess my system up, I really dislike changing graphical environment last time I **** up my distrib' with mismatches between libraries kde3, kde4, etc...) Do you think it is better to go to kde.org site or use repositories ? Advices welcome ^^

Advices welcome ^^ Backup ~/.kde or ~/.kde4 (naming depends on distro) before upgrading. 4.1.3 is a very old version and thus some config files might cause trouble after upgrading. I would guess that a part of your desktop settings will be reset to default, but I can't really remember. Problem solved?
