No, really, what you should do is login as a normal user _all_ of the
time, and use sudo or su to take root access only when you really need
it.
What you're doing is analogous to using a loaded shotgun as a golf club,
and what you're suggesting is that we take the safety off, because it
interferes with your golf game.
Although, it is also worth pointing out that if you still think it is a
good idea, you should write the patch and submit it upstream (i'm pretty
sure you want to look in gnome-session).
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=162960 has some of the back
story here, from an upstream perspective.
