I only login as root when I need to install a game or application that installs from a GUI and won't install in a console. I can think of two things I could not install by su'ing to root; UT2004 and Win4Lin.I wonder if they would've installed via sudo, since it handles the xauth settings, etc.
But I understand what you mean; I've logged into X as root a few times also for specific purposes.
