A newbie cludge, perhaps, is to login as a user, open a terminal, su,  
and then invoke the GUI application you want to run as root?

My very recent move from F10 to F11 (using the DVD ISO) was pure Hell. I 
ended up saving  user files to an external USB drive and installing F11 
onto bare metal.

Sounds like you didn't have as much "fun" as I did.
