IRC and Root

dear members...
i am a newbie to unix, i am using the SUSE professional 9.2
i noticed many places, that when i am using IRC , i shouldn't be logged into the root account..
also when i switch the GPSdrive, it mentions to me that it is not goo to be logged thru the root account.
what is wrong if i was in a root account while using these apps?
thank you
