Indeed you can, but have you noticed how long kdesu (and the gnome
equivalent too) remain resident even if terminated? So I do wonder if even
that is wise.

When I used kdesu in that fashion I always killed it afterwards. Lately I
found it much cleaner to open a terminal window and use `su` only. But
any often used root commands went into my /etc/sudoers and aliases
for them into my ~/.bashrc.
