As for root - I'll let others answer - see past long threads - it was turned off intentionally but there is a way to allow root to gracphically login if you really want it. (Tho why you'd ever need this is beyond me. I've used linux for many many years, and never once needed a graphical root login. If you want the control you seek - you may want to try kdm instead of gdm. You can still use gnome desktop with kdm. I am not recommending this one way or another - I am an ex kde user. kde was so wonderfully configurable ... but somehow they shot themselves in the foot and lost a huge number of users alng the way and seem to be struggling to regain their user base. Even Linus himself switched to Gnome .. after criticizing gnome for its lack of configurabilty for a few years .. http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9126619/Q_A_Linux_founder_Linus_Torvalds_talks_about_open_source_identity?taxonomyName=Software Good luck .. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
