Here are OpenSUSE-11.0 specific problems and solutions.

PROBLEM: No labels on sliders: File->Configure->Timing and
Station->Fetch Findu Trail dialogs.
FIX: Downgrade OpenMotif to an earlier version, 2.2.2, 2.2.3, or
2.2.4.
ALTERNATE FIX: Try Lesstif instead, but expect other problems.
Here's the bug report in the OpenMotif project. The bug was fixed
in July of 2007, over a year ago!

OpenMotif 2.3.0 beta 2 definitely has the problem.
I grabbed the SuSE-10.3 RPM's for openmotif-2.3.1 and
openmotif-devel-2.3.1 from here (These can be installed on
SuSE-11.0):
ftp://ftp.ics.com/openmotif/2.3/2.3.1/
Then ran these commands to switch to the new Motif:
# rpm -e openmotif openmotif-devel openmotif-libs ddd xpdf
# rpm -U openmotif-2.3.1-1.suse103.i586.rpm
openmotif-devel-2.3.1-1.suse103.i586.rpm
Note that "ddd" and "xpdf" depend on the openmotif-libs package and
so I had to get rid of them as well. "acroread" can be used in
place of "xpdf". On another system quite a few packages depended on
"openmotif-libs" and had to be removed, nothing that I truly needed.
Switching to OpenMotif-2.3.1 fixed the problem and I have labels on
my sliders again. Upgrade/downgrade as necessary to avoid OpenMotif
2.3.0 versions: 2.2.x and 2.3.1 and up should be ok.

PROBLEM: Crash when fetching internet maps using libcurl.
FIX: Install "wget" and run "./configure --without-libcurl" before
compiling (latest CVS has this new command-line switch).
NOTE: The normal method would be to de-install "libcurl-devel", but
this currently doesn't make Xastir auto-switch to "wget". We must
add a dependency on "curl/curl.h" to the appropriate section of
configure.ac to make this work (something for we developers to do).
This bug is most likely because I still had a source compile of
libcurl in /usr/local/* from an earlier install. I deleted it and
all the other packages residing there which are now provided by
OpenSuSE or by the Ham repository and am NOT getting Xastir crashes
now due to libcurl. Ham repository for SuSE-11.0:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/hamradio/openSUSE_11.0/

PROBLEM: Entirely black images rendered by GraphicsMagick:
FIX: Revert to an earlier version of GraphicsMagick.
ALTERNATE FIX: Install Imagemagick/Imagemagick-devel and either
uninstall graphicsmagick-devel, or run "./configure
--without-graphicsmagick" before compiling.
