 Check the startup procedure for startx. Look for a $HOME/.xsession file in
 the home directory, that gets run if it's there. You mention that it's root,
 does that mean that it's not other users having the problem? I suspect
 .xsession then. 

I'm having the same problem.  Can't login as root ('login failed') but I can 
login as user
but root does not have an .xsession file.  Can get in to KDE2 via a console.
