The important thing is for users to have access to GUI applications that would allow them to do their admin work. A lot of that is accomplished by accessing the same apps from System->Administration and authenticating themselves, or "su -"'ing from a terminal and executing X applications from there. They don't need a whole X session to achieve their goal of administering the machine. If they really want an X session as root for other reasons, then they can log on a console VT and "startx :1". But again, if root must be allowed to start an X session from gdm as policy, then let it be a stripped down session. -- Richi Plana -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
