Putting " SU error " into the forum Search box would soon direct you to threads such as this ;)

This happens because you're not allowed to run X (graphics) apps as root.
This is a 'debian policy' for security.
You can anyway log in kde as root booting in single user mode (text mode), and then run 'startx'.
