Hi
I guess this is not an axact answer to the question even if the related=20
problem is not a bug

The described happens because empty root password but depends on kdmrc=20
settings

you can control the behaviour by setting kdmrc values

AllowRootLogin=3Dtrue
AllowNullPasswd=3Dtrue
NoPassUsers=3D

and probably if desired
AutoLoginPass=3D


and you can normally ever shut down the X session by "ctrl+alt+backspace"
