KDE upgrade - Login Manager

Hello SuSE folk. Just a few more problems with my 3.2.1 upgrade in SuSE 8.2. At the login manager after the system boots, All users can successfully login - except root. The user root is typed in, then the password. The screen changes like the mount is going to work, but then the login manager reappears. Where do I go to fix this? Bob S.
