Sorry, but we don't support logging in as the root user. This is highly unsecure and strongly discouraged. I'm not sure what may be happening, but it's possible something like a D-Bus policy is blocking messages from being sent to root. You may want to have a look at /var/log/auth.log for such errors, but nobody will fix the program for this to work - and I really don't see the need for such a usage...
