Maybe more forgiving to also not pop up a warning if you've not created a
user but have set a root password? (And maybe put a block of text on the
root pw page suggesting that a user account is best practice?)

I'll let the UX experts make that call, though. :)

That seems fine to me; systems where you don't want a user account shouldn't
be desktop systems, and it seems compatible with what I suggest above: if
they have a root password don't pop up anything about the user account, and
if they're in the common desktop case we know they'll get the lecture later.
