X black screen when logged in as root

Hello, I wonder if anyone can help with this problem.

When I startx as my normal user login everything works fine.  However, 
when I run startx as root, it appears to start but gets no further than 
a black screen with an 'x' style mouse.  

The weird thing is, after I kill the X session with ctrl-alt-backspace 
there are no error messages on the screen.  I have checked in the 
xfree86 messages log too and there are no reported problems there 
either. It's as if X thinks everything is fine!

any suggestions?
