there's also su and sudo
+ open a term
+ []$ su -
give the root password
make what you want, and you can launch what you want. reduce the term or put
it for example in the third that you will reserve for
management/configuration, and that's it ! ( God bless virtual desktop ).
You can also try sudo ( man sudo, man sudoers )
so YOU DON'T NEED AT ALL TO LOG IN KDE/Gnome AS ROOT. You can even launch
kcontrol for root from the console while you're logging as a normal user.
