In addition to Jim C.'s suggestions, you can also start an interactive
shell via su (or sudo) and then use the built-in "suspend" command to
go back to the non-root shell from which it was invoked. Then you can
re-enter it using the usual job-control commands. The shell will only
honor a "suspend" command when it's not a login shell, so you don't
have to worry about suspending a shell with no other shell "above" it
to handle the suspended process state.
I find using screen even more comfortable. You can easily have several
sessions open and switch between them and keep being logged in as
root. It works well with SSH access too.

Alright, looks like I have to add a few tools to my tool box. With
regard to screen, what advantages does it have over running konsole with
multiple sessions? I've looked at the man page, but can't figure out
what the advantage would be over multiple tabs in konsole and using
shift+rt or shift+lt arrows to move between screens. Marcin, what are
your thoughts?
