The accounts service intentionally does not support modifying the root user, and the entire reason this system module exists and makes use of the AS is to remove the need for graphical usage of root. This is an unsupported usecase on multiple fronts. (In reply to Janet Blackquill from comment #1) Created attachment 169766 [details] Depiction of the automatically selected user modification page. (In reply to Janet Blackquill from comment #1) In that case, this is even more important - you can't display a user modification page and then state that it's unsupported. The Users KCM needs to automatically select the top visible user account, rather than root's. I implore you to re-read the issue and, especially, view https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=169756&action=edit, then see https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=169755&action=edit.
