Well, if it is ever decided to re-allow root login, then +1 to that
idea. Regular gnome sessions and KDE sessions just require so many user
processes to run and some to even daemonize themselves that it's scary
to think they've root privileges. I mean, who knows how well they're
written and what kind of havoc they could cause.

As for the X environment, give them TWM, ;).
