I really like the 12.3 screensaver that is in KDE at least, but I would like it even more if I could have it without the login prompts. I searched, but I could not find a version without this login box.
Something like this should do what you want in Configure Desktop / Hardware / Display and Monitor / Screen Locker Settings

Thank You,
No, I already looked there.
Also, I still have the 12.2 wallpaper, and the 12.3 one will not show:

How did you upgrade? Please post output of
zypper lr -d
between CODE tags, we’ll need it anyway.
Please try
kquitapp plasma-desktop
rm -r .kde4/cache-$HOSTNAME/plasma*
kstart plasma-desktop
That will clear plasma(-wallpapers) cache, and it should show current default wallpaper
I used these instructions: SDB:System_upgrade.

Ok thanks, that sort of worked. I got this error:
kstart(16889) main: Omitting both --window and --windowclass arguments is not recommended
Running the kstart command again started up plasma, and the 12.3 wallpaper is showing.
That is a harmless message.
WRT your original problem, if you use simple locker, you will always have “login box”. There is a bug report about not showing it when user has “require password” option off, i can’t find it right now. As jdmcdaniel3 wrote already, only with classic screensaver the box will not be shown.
This is what you get when you right click on the desktop and pick Default Desktop Settings. You did not go to Configure Desktop / Hardware / Display and Monitor / Screen Locker Settings as I suggested. Why not try looking there next?
Thank You,
I wish it would not show for me since I do not require a password.
The problem is that the classic screensavers do not include the openSUSE 12.3 Geeko on the vine. The Desktop Widgets is close, but it has a plasma menu for adding widgets. I think the default theme should be a classic screensaver option.
And here is the bug report: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=315442
