I had a very good reason to login as root some days ago. In gui.
The LDAP system collapsed (or, more consicely, it somehow beginned to take 5 minutes to get a GNOME login (where 5-10 sec is normal...). So, i logged in as root, ran system-config-authentification, turned on user info cacheing, logged back out, and things worked.
