All I know is that similar problems happened to me when I set one.
I think this is due to achitectural choices from Kubuntu team. And I
hab the idea to remove the root password after reading some threads on
kubuntu forums.
Example :
http://kubuntuforums.net/index.php?topic=757.0
Look at the exchanges between whoiam55 and chscag and the following
answers.
This kind of threads drove me to the solution of the 'sudo passwd -l
root'.
