or another way to downgrade OpenMotif...

you can use Yast (search for 'motif' to find the installed libraries) to
uninstall the existing 2.3 version of openMotif, and then use the procedure
below from the HowTo:OpenSUSE 10.2 in the Wiki to install the older version.

Use Firefox to browse to the site below.

 ftp://ftp.ics.com/openmotif/2.2/2.2.4/suse-9.1/

The two required files are as follows:

 openmotif-libs-2.2.4-0.1.i586.rpm
 openmotif-libs-devel-2.2.4-0.1.i586.rpm

Select the first of the two OpenMotif files above while in FireFox, and the
browser will give you the option of either saving to disk or installing with
Zen Installer. Choose to install with Zen, and the file will be downloaded
and installed automatically. The files need to be installed in the order
they appear above.
Auto-updates does tell me a new version is available, but I just ignore it.
