Resolution
This is known problem with Java on openSUSE 10.3:
To workaround this problem edit the groupwise start script,
which can be found under the following location:
/opt/novell/groupwise/client/bin/groupwise
Seach for the call to 'groupwise-bin' and add the following
line prior to that call:
export LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK=1
Save the start script and restart the client.
To run the IDM Designer installation run the same command mentioned above in a shell before calling the install script from that same shell.
cd designer_install
export LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK=1
./install
