Maybe like this : K menu (star) --> System --> Configuration --> Configure your Computer. Then root password. System --> Display Manager. Here somewhere you can choose to show root on the startup screen as well as other users. But it IS a very bad idea, IMHO. Much safer to learn the CLI way, the command "chmod" isn't that hairy.
