Not sure, but should you be logged onto a desktop environment as root? Better to use a normal user and sudo anything you need higher privs for
If you are using GNOME on RHEL just try to do it with CTRL+ALT+l
For sudo just add your user to /etc/sudoers
Logging into X as root is moronic.
Code://try //{ if (a) do { f( b); } while(1); else do { f(!b); } while(1); //}
Nah, I'm root. . . I'm running X. . . done it for _YEARS_ . Never had a problem. One just needs to remember that one can toast one's self if one does something moronic. Logging into x as root != moronic -- doing stupid things as root == moronic. One needs not be in X to do stupid things as root.
And people have been drunk driving and still alive, for now.
