X -configure goof results in /root gui desktop?
I was running "X -configure" then redoing kde settings and got
distracted and thought a prompt was wanting me to log in as root
when in fact I now wonder if it was asking me to enter a new
account name and password. There's now a desktop icon in /root.
The X -configure command resulted in the creation
of .xorg.conf.new, but the desktop icon -- and maybe some other
files, I suspect -- are a result of my goof, right?
How do I undo this? Kdm won't allow me to login as root, so
that's normal, but I seem to have at least a partially set up
kde root desktop since I have a desktop icon there. I assume
that I may have created a security problem. Do I just remove the
extra files in /root or must I do more to undo the results of my
goof?
