I only can login as root in GNOME when I manually go to a tty, go to init 
1 and run "startx" from there as otherwise it is forbidden by default 
from the GNOME/GDM settings (it can be enabled, IIRC).

But better that enabling it, ask yourself why do you need to login in 
GNOME with your root user.

What you are not going to get are "your own" replies but the other's, 
yes. That's a Gmail's webmail "feature".
