I don't know if it's a kernel problem, I have already posted to openSUSE
Factory list without any response. It's either an openSUSE problem or
one encountered since about 2.6.29-rc4 I'd guess and through to
2.6.29-rc7-git1.
If I execute certain applications as root I never get the GUI output, as
user everything works as expected.
Below is part of the strace output from "qjackctl". VirtualBox  and
others do the same.

It never moves beyond that point and I have to CTRL-C back to the prompt.
