Now, you should log out of the root account and log in to your user
account.
To log out from GNOME, click once on the Main Menu
Button on the panel and drag your cursor to the first
item, labeled Log out (as shown in Figure 1-6).
When the confirmation dialog appears (see Figure 1-7), select the Logout
option and click the Yes button. If you want to save the
configuration of your panel, as well as any programs which are running, check
the Save current setup option, as well.
Similarly, in KDE, you can log out from the Main
Menu button on the panel.
By default, the panel in KDE also contains a quick launch button to log
out; it is located near the taskbar, at the center of the panel, and
looks like:
You will either return to the graphical login screen or the shell
prompt, depending on how you chose to log in.
If you are returned to a non-graphical shell prompt, just type
exit at the prompt:
[root@localhost /root]# exit |

exit or by using the key combination of
[Ctrl]-[D].

Now, you can log into your user account the same way you logged in as
root.
