On the redhat bugtracker (Bug 1274451) Adam Williamson have told that wayland
developers banned root from accessing the desktop because it is insecure and
gparted should be rewritten to run GUI from under user and separate it from its
core. Others have pointed there that workarounds that let root access desktop
introduce a hole in a system. And now you are saying that it is secure from day
one. Who is right then?
