  <h2>Fedora Desktop</h2>}}}
  
  This section details changes that affect Fedora graphical desktop users.
- 
- === Graphical Root Login Disabled ===
- 
- This release disables login for the `root` user via the GNOME Display Manager.  The best practice for security is to run individual programs with root privileges, rather than login directly as `root`. Administration tools in Fedora are gradually migrating to using [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeaturePolicyKit PolicyKit], which makes graphical login as `root` both unnecessary and strongly discouraged.
- 
- FIXME: Has KDM root login been disabled? How about other display managers?
  
  === GNOME ===
