I don't know if it's accurate or not, as I don't login from a GUI. Change your setup in Yast, System Services (Run Level), Expert Mode, and make "xdm" ONLY run level 5 (init 5). Get out of all apps., and reboot. SUSE will come up to a konsole login. Then you can use "startx" to startup KDE.
Um, thanks, but how does this help me to login graphically as root using KDE?
Why do you want to do something that stupid, and then maybe I'll tell you?! Root services are available while as a user, you DON'T need to login as root.

The decision if one logs on as root or not should clearly be left to the admin of the system. In general its not useful to work as root but in some cases (software installation, administraion) where you need root access and have to deal with graphical installers etc it *really* is useful. Of course one can use kdesu or sudo but this can be really be cumbersome compared to beeing root. If you know what you do you should be able to do it even if some folks think its not good. So leave the decision to the admin of the system. If you want to force someone to do something or not to do something, then this is windows behaviour and not really useful at all.
