FIXME: Has KDM root login been disabled? How about other display managers?

As a standard best practice for security, it is always better to run individual programs with root privileges rather than login under root directly. With the introduction of [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeaturePolicyKit Policy Kit] and graduation migration of administration tools to using policy kit, running a complete graphical environment as a root user is even more strongly discouraged.

This release of Fedora includes the '''IcedTea''' environment. '''IcedTea''' is a build harness for Sun's OpenJDK code that replaces encumbered parts of OpenJDK with Free Software replacements. '''IcedTea''' provides a more complete, compatible environment than GCJ, including support for building and running bytecode up to the 1.6 level. Users of '''IcedTea''' should be aware of a few caveats:
- * there is no ppc or ppc64 support; ppc and ppc64 users should continue to use GCJ
