Question, How did you install povray? and logged in as who?

On opensuse 10.x and up (I have been using it since 7.2 or .3) you can let 
zypper do the job for you. 

Oh and as a side note, Povray for Linux doesn't know or use any graphics 
desktops. It just blurts out some graphics info in the general direction of 
the screen and hopes it works out. My main render machine runs text-only.

If you have any more questions, just holler.
