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).
---------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
