Hi,
I'm used not to login as root, specially under X. Instead, when
required to edit a configuration file, or do something not planned
under sudo, then what I do is to "su" and then provide the root
password.
The problem is that the root password is never recognized, so I can't
su-to-root ever, from a non root user... This is what I always see:
% su
Password: <root_password>
su: incorrect password
% su root
Password: <root_password>
su: incorrect password
Is this known already?

This sounds particularly unconfortable under
X, since it's supposed to be unsecure to start X under root. Is there
a work around, :) ?
Try sudo su -
