Under Gnome. Under KDE it's not disabled. That doesn't mean logging into a GUI as root is a good idea, it almost never is. Since you don't say why you want to do this you may have good reason, but frankly in my experience it has never been necessary to do anything I need to do. > If you > need to log on as root for maintenance, suggest going to the > non-graphical runlevel 3 and logging on as root at a command line > prompt. Or logging into the GUI as a normal user and using sudo, which is what it's for. poc -- users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
