'sudo -l' you mean? That (or just 'su' alone) gives me root access within a gnome-terminal, at which point I can do what I need to do. But that also demonstrates that whatever security concerns are driving the disabling of 'Root Terminal' from the menu are completely bogus. And it has conveniences (not having to provide a password every time I open a new tab, for example) which this workaround doesn't. Oh, well, indeed ....
