Anyway:

This is because you were logged in as root in your shell and didn't have X privileges. You don't need to run gnome control center as root, only user. If you run as root, it will only affect root's login, not the user's.
Not true. The real and effective IDs of the shell from which I launched it were the same as those under which I logged in.

Again, you can run it from the menu as well. Of course, on the shell, it's a natural part of the daily operation, isn't it? ;o)
Except for the fact I explicitly reported that _it doesn't work_ when I do that.
