Of course some things won't work - if they would, there would be no need for a special root account. Basically all the tools someone would use without a terminal should work (dialer, contacs, ...) no matter what stack is used. The daemons that need root access run in background and can be controlled by userspace-programs without root-access. If of course would take a loginmanager or similar to use a user with password at startup, because currently the user root is automatically logged in. Should be easy to "fix".
