root is tring to open X on :0.0. Are you sure that is where X is running?
login in as root and look in /var/gdm and see the files X is using
I have
# ls -l
total 8
-rw-r----- 1 root root 45 Jun 26 15:23 :0.Xauth
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 38 Jun 26 15:24 :0.Xservers
If 0.0 is right for you , you'd have
# ls -l
total 8
-rw-r----- 1 root root 45 Jun 26 15:23 : 0.0.Xauth
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 38 Jun 26 15:24 :0.0.Xservers
And here is the output:
[root@localhost ~]# cd /var/log/gdm
[root@localhost gdm]# ls -l
total 36
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1049 2007-06-27 08:32 : 0.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1143 2007-06-27 08:31 :0.log.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1076 2007-06-27 08:21 :0.log.2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1230 2007-06-27 08:10 :0.log.3
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1076 2007-06-27 07:52 :0.log.4
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1095 2007-06-23 22:07 : 20.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1095 2007-06-23 22:04 :20.log.1

I have a distant memory of this kind of thing happening when something
to do with the root login helper thing lost its suid root attribute.
That password prompt thing is
# ll /usr/sbin/userhelper
-rws--x--x 1 root root 34224 2007-04-19 15:10 /usr/sbin/userhelper
make sure it has the s for suid
