Don't configure your WM/DE to allow you to log in as root. You don't
need this. You only need to be root in a terminal sometimes.
I made a strange test on another Linux:
[spinymouse@archlinux src]$ kdesu thunar
[spinymouse@archlinux src]$ su -c thunar
[spinymouse@archlinux src]$ sudo thunar
Thunar is a GUI file browser. On your system nautilus might be the
default file browser and perhaps kdesu and sudo won't work, but perhaps
gksu natilus and su -c nautilus will work too. FWIW Thunar opens with a
warning, that it's dangerous to use a file browser as root. But it's
still better than to run a complete WM/DE session as root. Since you're
from Windows, perhaps mc is familiar to you. It's similar to Norton
Commander.
If you really won't use command line commands in a terminal emulation as
root, than at least "ncurses" might be something that fit to your needs.
