Cool, what idea do you have that would make more sense then ?
The OP would am sure love to hear from you...

Of course, thanks for reminding me.
But in this case it seemed tolerable, if not the only way to achieve the
goal, practically.
Again, if you have a better and easier way to setup root's Gnome
configuration, panel, launchers, background what have you, I ma sure the
OP will be interested.

Please stop jumping on me for the pleasure of it, I do find you very
offensive for no apparent reason, as well as not very productive/helpful
to the OP.
