Solved.  Sort of.

lcdproc client  works as expected when run as an ordinary user,  IF it 
is run in the foreground.  That is, with the - f option.

Not sure if this is expected behaviour for the program, or perhaps 
related to the bash console, which openSUSE uses.

Anyway, I think I have progressed sufficiently to move ahead with the 
mythtv project.

Thanks for all assistance received.
