Actually, I've noticed that with KDM, root can't login directly even on the console, at 
least with the default settings.  I'll need to figure out how to get around this at some 
point, but haven't had the time so far.  Also, I've posted about how the login screen, 
aka the KDM greeter, doesn't seem to respond to changes made in the Control Center in KDE.

To switch from GDM to KDM, make the change in /etc/sysconfig/desktop and then run 
gdm-stop; gdm will stop, but then kdm will automatically be started.
