I found that when I bumped my nVidia binary drivers up to 180.x things improved in a BIG way with KDE4.. that and making sure I was using 4.2.2. (latest as of this email). GL screen savers are fine... full screen, not stuck up in the top left corner.... KDE desktop performance is fine... ie, I don't notice any slowdowns or performance issues at all anymore.
I pull my nVivia drivers from here: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=122606 and am currently using 180.44. I don't know what's available in the openSUSE repos, but if you have a nVidia card, and you're not on at least 180, you will have major issues with KDE4.
Well, I compiled the "latest and greatest" and the results are the same. :(
Interesting. I wonder what is different between my setup and yours. I'm using KDE4.2.2 with nVidia 180.44 now, and if I check/test the screen savers, they appear to be working fine - granted i never use them anyway, but when I do set them and turn on, they appear to be working as they should.
