After the initial set up I wanted to create a root account so it is like my factory Debian. In a terminal I created it by using ($ passwd root) gave it a password and confirmed that it worked by switching accounts in terminal with ($ su root). When I log out of the DE then relogin and this time select different user it won't accept my password for root but it works while in terminal. Did I set this up incorrectly? Also I noticed that when in terminal as normal user I have to click the x in the top right corner to close terminal but while using root in terminal as soon as my mouse hovers over the x to close, it automatically logs out of DE causing me to sign back in. I'm still noobish but that doesn't seem right. Does this happen to anyone else?
