You're assuming all users of a system are technical. That is not the case.
Non technical users shouldn't be logging in as root and more so X. They
should be either launching graphical programs that ask for a password or
use su - or sudo. It an potentially be made easier by giving them a
"administrator shell" or something like that in the menu which launches
the terminal and asks for a root/sudo password but it would be better to
understand why it is ever needed and solve that issue in a perhaps more
elegant way.
What are the specific use cases, where non technical users are being
compelled to login as root (and other alternatives won't work)?
