Re: Logging on to X as root?

Search the archives for yesterday (and maybe the day before); this was just covered. You can also search the archives for a week or two ago. It was covered then also.

Basically, logging in as root is strongly discouraged. There are better ways to accomplish what you want (su -m, or sudo), but if you insist, the answer's in the previous threads.
