Hi Ronald,
This is the same as the writers of handbooks and help/man/files- usuming
reader know.

Ok,  system startsup correct to user say "johan"
>From here start> terminal I can change to su and do whatever I want - all
interminal mode via user "johan"

Logout "johan" system go to GUI where you can pick available users - click
on photo - enter paswd - you login as say "programs"

In Man 9.0 you could enter "root" without picking a user and go GUI as root.

But in Man 9.1 you can only pick common user photo's.

Best I can explain.
Johan
