You could try this:
1. sudo passwd root
2. System->Administration->Login Screen Setup
3. Select the Security tab. Check the Allow root to login with GDM (or
KDM) checkbox option.
I do have to agree that there are some annoyances with sudo-ing... but
in my case on many occasions.. it has saved my rear...
Anyhow I also think its just a matter of getting used to using sudo..
like ANY time you know you are going to edit a file, issue a sudo -i ,
and password, (same as su root IMHO). Before you open your editor.
