Did you do an online update after installing 10.3? How recently? There has been discussion on the list over the last couple of days concerning the latest x.org update that has broken a number of applications that rely on glx. As luck would have it, I just deleted those threads a couple of hours ago. There is an active bugzilla report about it. I don't know if your issues are all related to that but they could be. The 'greying out' of the application is 10.3's way of telling you that the application has stopped responding. Are you using the OSS nvidia drivers or the proprietary ones? Did you install from the openSUSE rpms or install the drivers from the nvidia site? I've always had better results downloading and installing the drivers from the nivdia site because I can then control the build options and make sure that the drivers are built against the libraries/headers that are installed on my machine. Incidentally, after the latest x.org and kdelibs updates I had to rebuild the drivers because the x server refused to start; actually, it started but then continually crashed and restarted. Reinstalling the drivers (from nvidia) fixed it. Might be worth a try.
