I seem able to do everything I need to with just an su - to root from a
terminal window. I don't need a Gnome login for root, in other words. So
I've left the defaults in place. All is well. A bit more secure in fact.

I still cannot login as root! Did this version hide a block on root
somewhere else?
Yes. You also need to edit /etc/pam.d/gdm-password (and _possibly_
/etc/pam.d/gdm-fingerprint if you use a fingerprint reader).

Not to pick on you in particular Mike, but I really think that folks
who feel they need to login as root ought to be better at knowing how
to diagnose and fix such problems.
