It is not good idea to login in GUI as root. Some nasty bug in GUI 
applications that run as root can trash your system. If you start console 
program than any application from there you will see quite a few error 
messages in some of them. 

YaST is designed in different way than other GUI applications, as it has to be 
run as root. There is much more testing to ensure that it will not harm the 
system, at least not more than inexperienced user with wrong decisions ;-)
