Figured out how to get the root icon back. In KDE, go to the Login
Manager under the Configuration/KDE menu (the KDE control center doesn't
ask for root access), go to users, and select yourself, root, and
whatever other users you wish to see, and select the "show only selected"
radio button. When you logout, you'll see him with his viking hat.
Thanks for the message, I didn't know that that screen was a KDE thing (I
would have thought it would be more general than that, since I select a
window manager when I log in).

out of the "Exclude=" line.
