In fact, it is my opinion (I know, but I thought I would share my
opinion in this case) that one should never even login to the GUI screen
as root at all. But that is enabled by default upstream (so it is not
changed in CentOS) and you can login as root to gnome or KDE if you
want ... it is disabled on all my machines so that root can not login to
the GUI.
