I did the install very, very carefully as I thought that, maybe, I had
goofed; but, no, I set up root password OK but still cannot do the login
as root.
The only way I can get to root operations is via sudo but, then, I can't
get a gui running (I'm a bit lazy!!).
Any ideas as to why I can't log in as root?

Open a terminal
edit the file /etc/pam.d/gdm
Comment out the fourth line so it reads:
#auth required pam_suceed_if.so user != root quiet
