What's the rationale (again?) for disabling root login?
See fedora-desktop list discussions. The goal IIUC was to discourage
root login via display managers since there isn't normally a reason to
do that and it presents a higher security risk. This has also been a
often requested feature in the past and with the introduction of Policy
Kit makes it even more sense to do so. Users who are inclined to ignore
this safeguard can always turn the option on.
