Disable root graphical logins.

Period.

make it so gdm or kdm or xdm just exit.

hell, you could make the xinitrc script handle it:

if your uid is 0 then you throw up a hate-filled messaged and exit.

EOD.

If you can't flip to a console and take care of the problem there as
root, then you REALLY don't need to be logged into a graphical client to
do it.
