I think there were reports of GNOME GUI root-password prompts ignoring
the password defined during OS installation (from Live Media), either
if the pass includes certain characters, or always.
Redefining the root password (even to the same text) after booting into
the installed OS solved the issue for those posters. May have to do with
PAM integrations taking place (as is the known case with CIFS-compatible
passwords) or something like that...
BINGO! Thank you Jim! I did 'passwd root' and changed to current one,
but that apparently doesn't help my existing gdm session. Since I am
not yet running the 2-3 VMs headless, I'm afraid to disconnect the
session lest I hose them. I'll do that tonight when everyone is off...
