Yes, I just tested whether it worked for root

No complaint, just returning to GUI login screen after
starting.

Previously Gnome worked without problem.  I have not
login Gnome for about 10 days after I made a mistake
applying 'make deinstall' to remove 'automake-1.5,1'. 
After starting I noticed that it started removing
files which I need.  I stopped it by closing the
Konsole window.  Now I have automake-1.7.5_1
installed.

B.R.
