Had the idea to start yast2 from konsole and see any error messages displayed (duh!) Errors below.
This appears to be the same problem, and points to libqt4. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=807781 X Error: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied) 10 Extension: 130 (MIT-SHM) Minor opcode: 1 (X_ShmAttach) Resource id: 0x132 X Error: BadShmSeg (invalid shared segment parameter) 128 Extension: 130 (MIT-SHM) Minor opcode: 5 (X_ShmCreatePixmap) Resource id: 0x10e X Error: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter) 9 Major opcode: 62 (X_CopyArea) Resource id: 0x3400010 The last error is repeated about 29 times.
