While it is quite possible to run desktop environment sessions with root
privileges, it might be, that it is prevented by default settings of a
distro or a desktop environment. If you should tend to do chaotic things
with root privileges, you likely suffer from a permissions issue. Maybe
files required by a user session can't be accessed anymore without root
privileges. It's easy to run in privilege issues for files such as
/run/user/*/dconf/user.
