In reference to your comment No. 3, since when did xubuntu come with any 
warranty? All OS's are provided on an as is basis use at your own risk

In reference to your final comment "re not posting question about 
logging in as root", is the op supposed to live in ignorances? Joshua 
earlier posted explained and informed the reason as to why the user 
should not login into a gui as root and supplied information on how to 
do so if the op still needed with out sounding like a pompous arse. If 
you don't ask question you don't learn
