When I first installed Kubuntu, I choosed too to set a root password,
in order to keep my previous 'way to work' as in Mandrake.
I happenned to have a lot of strange behaviours, all linked to
authentification, and begun to believe this distro was totally bugged.
I browsed on Kubuntu forums, and saw some texts that drove me to try to
remove this root password. Since that, I didn't have any problem with
auth behaviours.
I think that Kubuntu team made some choices in the distribution
configuraztion that implied that you were using sudo with no root
password, and that the fact of using one brings that behaviour... It's
sad, I must admit, but that's what I think...
