If you are loging in through gnome desktop manager (gdm), it will not 
let you in as root. If this is the case (wanting to use graphical 
interface and being root), I would suggest using kdm (same as gde, but 
from kde). To do so,
"dpkg-reconfigure kde"
will give you the chance of selecting your destop manager.
