Thank you for the feedback.

I discovered that solution of disabling root privileges as you described
below. Two other situations to resolve:

On boot all other non-essential drives are auto-mounted (XP, W7, Centos
partitions). How can I just have a list of drives that I do want mounted
or none at all.

How to make this happen?

I do believe you can disable this by changing the key in apps>nautilus>preferences>media_automount (untick box).

Get to this by using gconf-editor (ALT-F2 and type gconf-editor).

The root login I think you can enable to show up on user list in GDM by editing /etc/gdm/gdm.schemas and remove root from the hidden user list (this is on ubuntu, so it may be the old way still in debian, editing /etc/gdm/gdm.conf).

A better way would be to make a shortcut or launcher with command 'gksudo nautilus' if you want to be able to manage files as root in the GUI. Don't even have to logout then.
