NO. the best way is to not log as root !

No as you log as root and don't understand why it is dangerous.

there's also su and sudo
+ open a term
+ []$ su -
give the root password
make what you want, and you can launch what you want. reduce the term or put 
it for example in the third that you will reserve for 
management/configuration, and that's it ! ( God bless virtual desktop ).

You can also try sudo ( man sudo, man sudoers )

so YOU DON'T NEED AT ALL TO LOG IN KDE/Gnome AS ROOT. You can even launch 
kcontrol for root from the console while you're logging as a normal user.
