today I installed the latest online update for SuSE-8.0 and additionaly upgraded to KDE-3.0.2. Since then the scrensaver locks me out.
had the same problem but ONLY with NIS accounts. copied /etc/pam.d/xscreensaver to /etc/pam.d/kscreensaver and now it works just fine.

OK, after getting serious on this (strace is your friend), it turned out that my logins failed because "kcheckpass" couldn't open /etc/shadow from non-root accounts.
