like the wise dilbert saying... 'It Depends' :-)
You can look into /etc/pam.d/<your graphical login manager>
where 'your graphical login manager' is a file corresponding to your
graphical login manager (which could be one of
gdm/kdm/xdm/login.app/whatever)
root login is disallowed by not listing your login terminal in
/etc/securetty. This will be considered by pam when you have a line
like:
auth requisite pam_securetty.so
Comment it out/remove it.
