Hi,
As a security issue it might not be a good idea to run GUI as root. IT is disabled for a reason.

# Allow root to login. It makes sense to turn this off for kiosk use,

AllowRoot=true
# Allow login as root via XDMCP. This value will be overridden and
# set to false if the /etc/default/login file exists and contains
# “CONSOLE=/dev/login”, and set to true if the /etc/default/login
# file exists and contains any other value or no value for CONSOLE.
