Hi all,
How do I log into my x session (using gdm) as root? it won't let me in
at the minute, and I'm guessing there's some sort of setting (possibly
in visudo), which I need to ammend.

What should I do?

Cheers.

Hi.

You will need to edit gdm.conf.  The file is commented, so just look
around.
If you are running Ubuntu, you will need to enable the root account
before you can login.
