Not everyone uses the graphical login.  I've had problems with

HAVE to be run from the root console window.  There's probably
a way to force the graphical login mechanism to exit to a
console login screen, but I wouldn't count on it.

Hiding the actual commands that are run at the shell level is
probably O.K. for most newbies (i.e., the graphical login), but
for those of us who have been using UN*X and/or Linux for a while,
console is the way to go.
