[Fedora Project Wiki] Update of "Docs/Beats/Desktop" by RahulSundaram

Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Fedora Project Wiki" for change notification. The following page has been changed by RahulSundaram: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/Desktop?action=diff&rev2=91&rev1=90 The comment on the change is: people should make up their mind and stick with it ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ <h2>Fedora Desktop</h2>}}} This section details changes that affect Fedora graphical desktop users. - - === Graphical Root Login Disabled === - - This release disables login for the `root` user via the GNOME Display Manager. The best practice for security is to run individual programs with root privileges, rather than login directly as `root`. Administration tools in Fedora are gradually migrating to using [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeaturePolicyKit PolicyKit], which makes graphical login as `root` both unnecessary and strongly discouraged. - - FIXME: Has KDM root login been disabled? How about other display managers? === GNOME ===
