The point is that you should *never* run X as root. Always log in as yourself and use "su -" in an xterm if you need to do administrative tasks. FWIW, I'm not suggesting that your current problem is the result of this (I've had GNOME get messed up plenty of times by powering off or ctrl-alt-backspacing out of X). I am suggesting that you put your system at risk by running a GUI as root.
