 That's exactly is my question ! Why this is an bad idea ? this is just for
discussion and manly for comparison between normal login and root login.
1) in normal login also, we enter password for application to allow them
with root privilege ,   so both are almost same, wrong thing may happen with
normal account too.

A = wrong thing which will happen when you login as -- root      -- user
from GUI
B = wrong thing which will happen when you login as -- normal -- user from
GUI

I am asking B-A.  (B minus A).
