well, I run mandrake 7.0 and while as a regular user in mine and in X, I use the
eterm to do other stuff...
while using eterm, I just type su and then it ask for password and I enter it...
when your done using su , you can type exit and it brings you back as a regular
user where you started from...
so you might want to try that...
