I was facing the same problem with group wise client 7.0.3 on openSUSE 11.0, as soon as I installed the gtk group wise client worked properly.

It seems that the install of GW is missing some files

I have OpenSuSe 11(x64) and desktop effects AND Groupwise client 7.0.3 working,

to do this edit the script that starts groupwise and do the following :

If you have compiz fusion active then groupwise starts but displays only a grey screen. To fix it, change the groupwise startup script to (or run this from the console to test);

/opt/novell/groupwise/client/bin/groupwise.sh -jvm=-Dawt.toolkit=sun.awt.motif.MToolkit

got this solution from the novell forum itself :

The client for 10.2 reported files on a NetWare 6.5.7 server that were 4.7 gig as 212 terabytes. Hopefully this will be fixed in the release for 10.3 & 11 A Windows XP WS with client 4.91sp4 would report the file size correctly, so it would appear the issue is not with the server end.

Not really. After disabled desktop effect I’ve got a groupwise client windows that was not empty. But as soon as trying to open a mail the clients locks up and I have to kick it out (pkill -9 groupwise)

Running openSuSE 11, compiz, and GroupWise client results in GroupWise windows displaying blank. Work around is to turn off compiz desktop effects when using GroupWise client.

Also couldnt get Groupwise client running on Opensuse 11, only a blank client window, when groupwise starts.

To quote the first Google hit: “Novell Client for Linux provides Novell NetWare and Novell Open Enterprise Server connectivity to Linux workstations by translating login script commands to their Linux counterparts. Once it is installed on workstations, users can enjoy the full range of Novell NetWare and Novell Open Enterprise Server services such as Novell eDirectory; single, synchronized login; and multiprotocol support — not to mention many mission-critical applications.”
