Disabling GPU assisted didn't help. Selecting also openGL GLX video instead of
automatic did fix it.

Lots. Do you wish to see any now that it's working OK?

Thanks to you and Hans-Peter both. :-)

zypper dup direct from 42.1 to 42.3. No updating yet done since OP here.

I just had a quick look and the xlocale.h issue is easily solved by
adding -DXLOCALE_NOT_USED=1 as stated in Locale.hh but although this
doesn't affect the 42.2/3 build there are more errors to be fixed,
possibly gcc7 errors. Needs to be done by someone who knows the build.
