First, that's not X related but comes from you dm (gdm/kdm/...)
More, you can still login as root in console (Ctrl+Alt+F1) (if you can't I think
that's a security level problem)
Why to you want to login graphically as root while you can use su ? Loging in
grphically as root is quite dangerous because you run a lot of applications just
when you login and if any of the applications is buggy it can break a lot of
things. More, you may want to look for documentation on the internet and if the
program you use has security flaws (that occurs sometimes, especially on big
softs like konqueror or mozilla) people may get control of your computer...
