OK, around KDE 3.4, the default is you cannot login to KDE as root. 
Find where the file kdmrc is located:

$ locate kdmrc

Mine is at /usr/kde/3.5/share/config/kdm/kdmrc.  Open it up in a text 
editor and change any and all lines that read

AllowRootLogin=false

to

AllowRootLogin=true

Save the file and restart X.  Then you can login as root.
