That sounds scary, because won't that mean that when I start up Gnome 
(er.. it starts up on boot) and log in as my mere user (as I am supposed 
to for security reasons) and then fire up terminals that use the 
/etc/passwd entry for my mere user to decide start up shell, these 
terminals will not be able to jump to root? That's not what I want if 
that's the case.  If I am confused, feel free to explain.
