By default, it doesn't let you log in graphically as root.  Do you
really need to do that?  It's, generally, a VERY BAD idea.  The best
solution is, usually, to log in as yourself, then "su -" in the command
line to become root, and issue the commands you want.  Or run the
graphical tool that you want to use, through the menus, and type in the
root password when prompted.

This is an interesting one.

I, too,  need to graphically log in as root to delete several old
kernel and kmod directories quickly and easily as per discussions on my recent and continuing akmod problem. Doing it one file at a
time in the numerous directories is laboroius and error prone.

I can't use the GUI there is no login for handling files that I can find.
