[Desktop-packages] [Bug 991921] Re: Login as root using gnome 2 shell (fallback) hangs when loggin in, but other users login just fine in Ubuntu 12.04
Does your system has an actual root user account? Note that ubuntu does not have one by default, and relies to "sudo" to execute privileged commands.

All the other users accounts I can log into without any problem. I am using Gnome 2 (gnome 2 fallback session) with ubuntu 12.04 precise. I can use su root ok though, in another users desktop from a terminal. And why does Appearances not give me the faciltiy to download and install new Gnome Art themes any more?
