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? And I'd like to use KDM, not XDM.
HI Edit /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc and change AllowRootLogin=false by AllowRootLogin=true
restar and it must work
Please don't so this. Listen to the wisdom of everyone that is telling you how to do what you want to do the right way. From your regular user login go to the KDE menu, go to System and then click on YaST. It comes up asking for the root password. By design. When logged in as a normal user under KDE just press Alt+F2 and the run command dialog comes up. Here you can enter the "kdesu kate" or "kdesu kfmclient --profile filemanagement" for Konq as root. Keep doing this for all those one-off run-as-root things you need. Then when you do Alt+F2 press the Alt+down-arrow key and scroll to what you want to run, hit enter. Since KDE 3.4.1 it stops there so you can modify the line or just hit enter again and it runs. (Get used to double-pumping the enter key.) Stan
