Never log in as root, no reason you need a full blown user environment running as root; kdm preventing you from doing so is the right behavior. Just open a konsole while you're logged in as yourself and use su -m to get a root shell, or use kdesu -c <command> in KDE's run dialogue if you need an X program. -- Paul Johnson <baloo@ursine.ca>
