When Im logged as root and I lock the screen with CTRL + ALT + L, I see a black screen, but when I move the mouse and hit any key, I get back to my desktop without being prompt for the root password.  How can I make so when I lock the screen root password must be entered.

running your desktop as root is calling for trouble, the desktop apps
are neither designed nor tested in that context and are likely to not
function in the expected manner ...

... the simple answer is, don't log in as root under X, use pkexec (or
the obsolete gksu) to execute apps you need to run as root from a
normally logged in user account instead.
