You've received some advice on *how* to login as root, graphically. May I ask *why* you want to log in as root, graphically? This isn't Windows -- it's never necessary here, and a click in the wrong place can do a lot more damage as root. Most graphical programs that are likely to need root privileges will ask for the password when they start up. For the rest, it's a lot more sense to go into a terminal, su - to a root prompt, and run just the program you need from there. Or configure sudo, if you're going to do this regularly. Hope this helps, James. -- E-mail address: james | "This thing is bigger than the both of us!" @westexe.demon.co.uk | "Oh Tom! It's ... it's an elephant!"
