KDE wont start as Root, only as other user

WHen I try to "startx" as root (KDE is default) the xserver crashes
before it gets completely loaded and takes me back to the command prompt.
As user "eduardo" , I can startx just fine! Could someone help figure out
how to get this working normally?
Thanks,
Will Lehman
(I've attached the .xsession-errors file--hope this helps!)

It looks like dcopserver is already running. If you are sure
that it is not already running, remove /root/.DCOPserver_localhost.localdomain_:0
