Hello,
I’m running 12.3 64 bit with kde
linux-7v9h:/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d # synaptiks -v
Qt: 4.8.4
KDE Development Platform: 4.10.5 "release 1"
synaptiks: 0.8.1
linux-7v9h:/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d #
recently I have had a problem with the synaptik window not opening alongside freezing occurring when the laptop(Sony Vaio) comes out of sleep.
The package has not been modified and has been purged/re-installed clean in order to ensure that this was not a “me” thing.
I have furthermore reviewed a file referred to in other posts:
linux-7v9h:~ # rpm -fq /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf
xf86-input-synaptics-1.6.3-1.1.1.x86_64
linux-7v9h:~ # rpm -V xf86-input-synaptics-1.6.3-1.1.1.x86_64
linux-7v9h:~ #
The icon appears in the application panel, and responds properly to right click
I have the ability to disable my touchpad from this action as well by custom hot-key configuration (ctrl-alt-t)
The expected behavior is that when I click on the “Synaptik” icon a configuration window would appear.
any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I’ve only just stumbled across this thread, while responding to another user with a different synaptiks issue. Anyway, I became aware that I had the same issue as you’ve described (I’m have openSUSE 12.2 installed)
synaptiks -v
Qt: 4.8.4
KDE Development Platform: 4.10.5 "release 4"
synaptiks: 0.8.1
I found a couple of bugs related to python, for different openSUSE versions (but more related to python version conflicts):
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=799925
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=785078
When I was attempting to start synaptiks from the command prompt, I was getting the same errors reported as in the above bug reports.
Anyway, I found the solution that worked for me was some manual package management, including the upgrading of upgrade python-sip, which involved downgrading python-kt4, then re-installing python-qt4 (with an alternative package)
# zypper up python-sip

There is an update candidate for 'python-qt4', but it is from different
vendor. Use 'zypper install python-qt4-4.10.2-110.1.x86_64' to install
this candidate.

Nothing to do.

I could then start synaptiks from the CLI again.
