No Graphical root sounds like a FEATURE rather than a bug. Graphical
Root is call MS Windows and does to the security of your system what
Microlimp does to Windoze.
Be thankful for unlooked-for favors and pray the powers that be that no
one comes along and re-enables MSWindows mode.
Further you might want to put
# Single user mode
~~:S:wait:/sbin/sulogin
in your /etc/inittab to assure that no-one can inadvertently put you
back in Windoze mode...
Also might want to put root in your
/etc/ssh/denyusers
Just a thought. It's my feeling that if we continue compromising
security to become more friendly, why don't we just stick with MS and
avoid all of the hooplah???

maybe there is a reason to login to a gui as root - although in

Lazyness in my case. Or call it efficiency cause of scarce time.
I want machines to work for me, do not have all hours to learn everything.
I can not learn everything, even less remember it.
A GUI session often have lots of useable tools to see what is going on, web
browser to read documentation of what i am trying to do, can copy to virtual
terminal, etc.
That is why even my server always runs KDE (but not as root)
Um... when i think about it i have not used GUI as root for a year or so, but
it was a time saver in the beginning and i might have given up on Linux
without it.
This is the few sysadmin hours of an own smalll company owner and home server.
