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.

Enable Root Login
how do I enable root login
Edit /etc/pam.d/gdm, find the line with the expression that
says something like "user != root" on the end of the line and
remove that expression from the end of the line.
While the intent of preventing root is admirable, in practice it means that you
have to type in the root password repeatedly when doing system configuration,
since every tool is going to ask for it. The previous pop-up warning was
probably as effective for competent people, and incompetent people shouldn't
have root anyway.
