root login in GUI has been disabled in Fedora 10 but you can gain root privileges in Terminal through su.
I won't suggest you to enable root login.It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

You shouldn't need to log in as root user.
However, it should be simple enough to gain root permissions when they are needed with the su command by going to a terminal and entering:
su
or...
su -
...then give your root password when it's requested.

I know that we should not login as root and I also know about th su command. But I wonder if I can enable the root login at Xwindows. If there is an option somewhere.
