Good question. Basically a couple of specialized applications that I
run because of work that essentially need to be invoked from a gui
desktop due to the failings of the programs.
I would guess that there might be someway to start a Gnome session from
within a su session but, I am certainly not a high powered enough Linux
user to know it or to correct the problems with the programs.
Thus if I can't login to a Gnome session I will have to stay with my
old Fedora 14.

Before the deluge of why root should not log in, I have some reasons

Any ideas?
What would be wrong with the usual method? Meaning, log in as an
ordinary user, and elevate privileges using "su -" in a terminal and
providing root password in a GUI when asked for it?
I also remote login to my servers all the time, but I've never ever
needed to do it as root. What makes it so unavoidable for you?
HTH, :-)
