If you're using KDM, look for 'kdmrc' (mine shows to be
under /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc, but I do not use KDM, so there might
likely be another place for it). Either way, edit it, and look for the line:
AllowRootLogin=false
Set it to true. Now you should be allowed root access via KDM.
If you use GDM, run 'gdmconfig', then select the "Security" tab. Check the box
that says "Allow root to log in with GDM". Close it out. Done.
