When I first started playing with Linux (RedHat Distribution -- Version 5.2 Deluxe), it was a present from a father's friend in Boston. As I recall that is the only version of RedHat I ever got to work correctly without any major problems (like "Kernel Segmentation Error" or something to that effect).

that's because you shouldn't log on as root into the GUI. it's bad and wrong, don't do it. =)
if you really really have a legitimate need to do it - and there are not very many at all - then you need to configure Mandrake's KDM a little bit, or alternatively use the software management tools to uninstall "mdkkdm" and install "kdebase-kdm" instead. that'll give you the vanilla KDE version of KDM, which will let you login as root.
