I've had the same problem of not being able to log in to X as root since my 
latest KDM upgrade. I thought it was something unique I had screwed up.

As for enlightenment, don't forget that it is lighter, and faster than either 
KDE or Gnome. I've used it exclusively for about 18 months now on a modern 
full horsepowered desktop. Once you've configured it for your needs, going 
back to KDE or Gnome feels like having to crank start your car for every 
trip.
