I assume all you have to do is the same as on 10.2:

# gnome-xgl-switch --enable-xgl

# rcxdm restart (or simply reboot, which is very fast now ;-) )

Actually I've been meaning to post a bug report about "gnome-xgl-switch".. it 
has absolutely nothing to do with GNOME, and people are confused by it, "But 
I use KDE??".. I'd suggest either renaming it to xgl-switch or perhaps to 
ship the distro with "xgl-switch" or "opensuse-xgl-switch" as an alias 
for "gnome-xgl-switch".

I agree that it would be nice to have some clicky, clicky way of enabling it, 
even running a few simple commands in the terminal is frightening to some 
people. And it shouldn't be much work to create some simple thingy..

However I will provide an updated version of opensuse-xgl-settings for 10.3 
when the time comes..

But third party tools will only help a small percentage of users..
