To the average user it isnt the most important device. They wont understand or
touch File System, especially when it requires root access to change things.
You can check for example the 'Open' or 'Save As' dialog, which hides all
devices group entries under 'Other Locations' and calls it 'Computer' rather
than 'File System'.

Unfortunately we cant please everyone with any change we make, thats why we
have so many xfconfig settings i guess :D, but the changes should be what is
best for most users. Here are how other file managers handle root in the
shortcuts pane

Caja: Located in 3rd underneath home and Desktop and before home's other child
folders
Nemo: Bottom of group above Trash
Nautilus: Similar to file dialogs ( Other Locations > Computer ) 
PCManFM: Not accessible
PCMan-Qt: Accessible under Computer > File System

Dont think this is a good idea as mentioned above, but if this is the final
decision made for shortcut view, then ideally it should be unified with tree
view. Network position bug filed (bug 16516)

Not sure what i'm seeing here, as the menu isnt open.
