In what way?  Change from GDM to KDM?  Change the background picture?
The screen resolution?  Something else?

By default, it doesn't let you log in graphically as root.  Do you
really need to do that?  It's, generally, a VERY BAD idea.  The best
solution is, usually, to log in as yourself, then "su -" in the command
line to become root, and issue the commands you want.  Or run the
graphical tool that you want to use, through the menus, and type in the
root password when prompted.

If you really do need to log in graphically as root, which I highly
doubt ("want" does not equal "need"), then you can change a
configuration option to allow that.  However, I do not remember it,
since I haven't needed/wanted to do something like that in several
years.  Search the list, you'll find someone detailing the procedure.
