I remove kde and of course kdm since a while but I do remember that I 
changed into /etc/kdm/.kdmrc allowroot login to true and it does the 
job. I'm sure about the exact name and location of that file but if you 
look for root into it you will find out where it is. It's defaulted to 
false for obvious security reason. Hoping this helps.
