I believe this is a feature. You have three choices
1) urpme mdkkdm
urpmi kdebase-kdm
2) Set all users as no show, so that you type in all user names. This
will allow root to be typed in.
3) Set root user to be unhidden.

I would guess this is because artswrapper is not running suid root on mandrake
as it was intended by KDE arts team.

I can't explain this, unless Laurent and kde team is planning a surprise.
