Description of problem:
gdmsetup auto login feature does not work with root.
this is right, but you should add some type of warning about this,
ie when a user inserts "root" and try to close the window a dialog should popup
saying that the root user is not permitted.
thanks.

should be fixed in upstream HEAD cvs and thus in GNOME 2.6
