[Usability] Screensaver unavailable for root login ?

[Rod Butcher <rbutcher hyenainternet com>]

I can't get the Gnome graphical screensaver to run when logged in as 
root, I understand there's an X security issue.. Is this correct ? KDE 
will run a screensaver for root with no fuss. What's the secret?
I do a lot of technical messing about and prefer to stay logged on as 
root rather than have multiple sessions, use su, etc... I find it 
simpler to stay in a single "thinking mode" and remain vigilant (and 
take backups)  rather than switch between "no worries" user mode and 
root mode continually.
