   I don't remember the details, it was years ago. The point is that I want   
   every possibility available, in case something goes wrong. I want to be   
   able to login as root graphically, just in case.   
      
   I just tried in a fresh install of 16.0, and I can login as root into   
   XFCE. Yellow background. Perfect. Not even a warning message. Not that I   
   will use it, but I like that the decision is mine to take.
