[Kde-kiosk] newbie question

I've been looking into setting up up a few KDE kiosks scattered 
throughout my house for various members of my family; to that end, I 
installed SuSE 9.2 on a spare machine and began experimenting with Kiosk 
  Mode.  It worked pretty well, and I plan to go forward with a couple 
machines.

The only problem I'm having at this point is that logging in as root at 
the console gives me a FVWM session, not KDE.  The FVWM session loads 
YAST2, so administration is possible, but I'm annoyed by this change. 
I've looked through the kiosk tool and no profiles are active, but I've 
no idea how to restore my typical root session.  Google has turned up 
nothing but the apparently-self-replicating Linux Magazine "Kiosk Howto" 
article.  Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Ryan
