it's impossible to make everything on the desktop root-safe and I don't
expect it. The system should not decree that it knows better than me,
though.
Remove the offending line from your /etc/pam.d/gdm file.
And yes, I also think that default setting sucks (and FWIW, KDM currently
isn't set up that way).
