Answer to POC

Running su and getting a root shell does not give you root in the GUI.

This, the ability to mark files for deletion, copy, or changing of properties becomes a tedious chore in command line mode.

Without GUI for root, I am afraid I will revert from F10 back to F9. It is for that same reason that I do not standardize on the other linux distribution that begins with U

you can always start nautilus or whatever gui you like, from root terminal. ( which, of course, is not exactly a fix :) )

prompts for the root password, type the root password AGAIN, and to boot, I
can't choose when I want the authentication to expire, it just goes away,
making copying a large number of files very difficult.  In Fedora 9 you could

log on as root (which I understand why they took it away, but you could choose
to keep root authentication), is there a way to anymore?

Is there some problem in simply running 'su' and getting a root shell?
