XDM won't allow root login

["John Smith" <pagemaster41_(_at_)_hotmail_(_dot_)_com>]

I have xdm setup on my 2.8 system(upgrade 2.7 with snapshot then built 
entire current source tree) and I have my Xsessions file setup so that 
instead of the defaults it boots KDE. here is what I put in to make it boot 
KDE:

#below are the defaults

#       xterm &
#       exec fvwm

#Here is my setup to start KDE
PATH=$PATH/usr/local/bin
exec /usr/local/bin/startkde
fi

When I log in as my normal user with xdm it works fine and KDE boots and 
everything is great, but when I login as root it flashes then logs me out 
again.  Does anyone know the problem?(I did have KDE working fine with root 
startx worked great)
