- In the standard installation it appears to be impossible to get into KDE
as root. The login page simply refuses to do it. This seems excessively paranoid to me.
This setup is also the default on Mandrake 10, which is also KDE 3.2. There's a way to get around it - on the relevant KDE config page, there's a button at the bottom for 'administrator mode', which prompts for the root password and then gives you the option of deselecting root as a hidden login option.
