And so you will never be asked again, it seems.

But it isn't going to have a chance to ask you again, is it?

Anyway, I'm just being silly above. The gconf key for this is:

/apps/gnome-session/options/show_root_warning

It accepts a bool value, so something along the lines of the following 
command should work from within a kickstart or post-install 
script/firstrun kludge if that is your intention (and I assume it is as 
the above two statements must not be quite what you meant):

gconftool-2 --direct --config-source \
xml:readwite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults \
--type bool --set /apps/gnome-session/options/show_root_warning false

Not sure if the format length turned out correctly in email, but I think 
you get the idea.

Have fun!

-Iwao

PS: If anyone knows anything better than the above sort of commands, 
please pipe up. I've been doing a *lot* of gconftool-2 scripted 
customizations lately and some of the options are pretty hard to 
research. Things like setting default colors for gnome-terminal or 
changing icons defaults, etc. are a fruitful source of irritating 
mistakes. Any better ideas are welcome -- thanks in advance.
