Don't do that. Running X as root - or, indeed, running more as root than
you have to in general - is bad security practice. You should run as a

What login manager's do you use?
In GDM (Gnome Desktop Manager) you should to set this option before you
can login as root:
( /etc/gdm/gdm.conf )
AllowRoot=true
and next type /etc/init.d/gdm restart
Then you should be able to login as root in gdm.
