try this

Make sure to set the following in /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc
in section [X-*-Core]:

AllowRootLogin=true

Use the control center of KDE -> security (or some such) you can tick a box there...

@j-ray . Of course you can do that. You have to be no less careful with console, or are you always really really sure which window is root's and which of an other user before looking at the prompt? This is just myth...
