If I run a GUI app, command line app or X as root, What problems would it cause ?

Is it just the home folder ownership change or are there other things I should worry about too ?latest?d=yIl2AUoC8zA latest?i=y_Jv6nPhVfs:RDN8vcLw5Oc:F7zBnMy latest?i=y_Jv6nPhVfs:RDN8vcLw5Oc:V_sGLiP latest?d=qj6IDK7rITs latest?i=y_Jv6nPhVfs:RDN8vcLw5Oc:gIN9vFwy_Jv6nPhVfs
