No, it is not a matter of running ge as root or not. It is the intel video driver that does not a great job. I tried to upgrade to the most recent Xorg but the only thing i got is to completely mess the gui. So in my experience no hope. I will wait for 11.2 for a better driver. Even basilisk ( an old mac emulator) does not run. But i have also to point that this is not an opensuse issue: it is an Xorg issue
