IINM, the OP said that he went into kdmrc and manually changed the
keyword he needed in order to enable DM root login, but that KDM had
been changed to ignore that keyword no matter what the setting in kdmrc.
Having the keyword set to disable the feature is common sense. Patching
KDM to refuse to acknowledge it even if it's enabled is not.
