I will point out from a security point of view, do not log into your 
system as root, except for specific purposes and for very short time 
periods.  I use the login as an ordinary user, open a terminal session, 
and then su - or sudo to get to a root session.  As far as KDM not 
allowing root logins, this may be for security reasons as stated above.
