Draftsight graphics window problem in OpenSuSE

Hi there

I am running opensuse 13.2 on an Optimus laptop (Alienware M17X4) with kernel 3.16.7-29-desktop (opensuse 13.2 and KDE). The graphics card is an nvidia GTX 675M

\\\$ optirun inxi -G 

Card-1: Intel 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller

Card-2: NVIDIA GF114M [GeForce GTX 675M]

X.Org: 1.16.1 drivers: intel (unloaded: fbdev,vesa) Resolution: 1920x1080@60.02hz, 1680x1050@59.95hz

GLX Renderer: GeForce GTX 675M/PCIe/SSE2 GLX Version: 4.5.0 NVIDIA 352.63

 

1st Draftsight can not open it's interface window unless it is started with the nvidia card (not a problem but an indication that is amiss)

 

2nd (main problem) the graphics window (small black area) inside the (big) interface window can not be resized: "dead screen" area is patched around it if the it's border is dragged to enlarge it.

Any ideas?
