Hi,

for administrative purpose i need to run Gnome being root. I installed all the gnome packets (a lot), and can login as a normal user.
When i try to logon as root, it seems that login is possible. I have a turning wheel but ... that's all. After half an hour i gave up.
I know that it's not recommended to run GUI as root, but i need it.

Thanks in advance.


Bernd
