It's funny because the default in KDM changed the other way in F7 
(AllowRootLogin=false was dropped).

I think it makes no sense not to allow it. It doesn't give you any security 
(because it's trivial to log in as root in text mode, edit the config file and 
then go back to graphical), just annoyance if you do need a graphical root 
session for whatever reason.
