post-install questions

Bonjour,

I have just finished my debian installation and I have a few questions:

1- For some reason the root account was not activated (I, maybe, missed
some step); so I activated it following the docs, but there are two
problems:
a) root can login through lightdm and access a graphical session! How to
disable this?
b) root umask is set to 077, which is problematic if you don't pay
attention to this setting.

2- Is there a gnome-network-manager like program under xfce?

 I try to have an installation with a minimum number of gnome packages.
I tried to install  gnome-network-manager, but I got a full installation
of gnome desktop which made a "coup d'état" and took power over xfce. I
purged my system from gnome packages.

3- Is it possible to install a package without its dependencies  with
apt-get? I wanted to install auctex but apt-get wants to install a lot
of TeX packages which I don't want.

I know, auctex is made for TeX, but I install texlive directly from CTAN
and don't want to have 2 TeX installations.

4- I installed emacs24, and it returns a warning when it is launched
from an xfce terminal:

Gtk-WARNING **: gtk window parse geometry() called on a window with no
visible children; the window should be set up before gtk window parse
geometry() is called.

What does this mean?

Thank you.
