Okay, I read your answer and I read the very arrogant response in the Kubuntu FAQ where these people tell us we don't need a root account. They have NO RIGHT to decide that for MY machine! This machine is MINE, not the property of some socialist community under the control of Fearless Leader as seems to be presumed by that flippant answer giving in Kubuntu's FAQ!

If I can not have a GUI root account on my own machine, then Kubuntu is getting thrown in the trash can so hard it won't stop until it bashes Hitler in the head in Hades! Besides that, even with Ichthux I doubt we can get rid of that buddhist ying-yang symbol  in the upper right-hand corner.

The nerve of them to decide for ME that I don't need a root account on MY own system! As if I am some ward of the state Nanny. PHOOEY! And that EULA aggreement almost sounded like I was being inducted into the cult of  Scientology. My late mentor Dr. Walter Martin would have told me to run, don't walk, to the format command!
