Hi Martin, I also run Suse 42.2. When you installed 1.5.2 via "1-Click-Install" you replaced your 1.4.6 with 1.5.2.
I think that to have both installed you will need to re-install 1.4.6, then either build 1.5.x yourself from the SVN source (this is what I do) or use one of these "app images", but I have never done this so don't know what is involved.
