It works fine with. Thank you Masaru Nomiya and Patrick Shanahan for your thoughts, I removed and then changed the SUID bit the way Masaru suggested, but no joy. When I run the sonar screensaver via xscreensaver-demo all I see is

However, in my environment, unlike Marc
# cd /usr/libexec/xscreensaver # chmod u+s sonar
and I should be able to run
# chown root:root sonar
was not necessary.
I agree, not necessary, the ownership was already root:root and all the other screensaver apps are the same as well. One thing that is necessary is that I run xscreensaver-demo under my own user ID, not root, otherwise xscreensaver-demo complains about not being able to access display::0 if ran under root.
But, I checked that on Tumbleweed.
Unfortunately I am not using Tumbleweed, but OpenSuSE 15.4 (Boss won't let me use Tumbleweed, thinks it would be to unstable and changing too often) Thanks again, hope more ideas surface soon! Marc..
