None at all if fact when you login as normal user you should go to the Control Center and in the System Administration -> Login Manager use the administrator mode button then change it so it does not show the root user in the login screen, KDE will popup a dialog for the root password and you can change the settings. Any KDE program that requires the root password for changes should popup the same dialog.

How come there are 2 GUI's one for ROOT amd the other for USER?
Never have understood that one myself Klaus never intended for Knoppix to be installed to the HD so it is an oversite in Fabian's script and the /etc/skel files on the CD that get copied only a couple of lines changed are needed to get rid of it, on a Debian install it is set to no root login by default.
