It's been years since I've logged in as root, since I haven't had to do
that. When I did do it, to fix up some problem that I'd created, it was
a simple matter to "su - tim" to get a terminal in my user account, to
(more safely) do something while I was in the middle of repairing the
problem I caused in the first place.
For what it's worth, I'd somehow upset the permissions of /tmp, and that
prevented logging in as a normal user (it'd immediately log out,
straight after attempting to log in). Not that I needed to graphically
log in as root to fix that, but I did need to get to a web browser to
research the cause, first. And I hate using Lynx, seeing as someone
will suggest it.
