Should be possible to create it by yourself.
Just bind it to "xterm -e "su -"", no?

,[ man xterm ] 
|-e program [ arguments ... ] This option specifies the program
|(and its command line arguments) to be run in the xterm window.
|It also sets the window title and icon name to be the basename

If you mean a konsole shorcut that used to be launched as root (Super 
user mode) it should be still there (btw, I never understood what was 
this intended for, it just only saves you from typing 4 characters "su  
-" :-P).

Under the classical menu, look into System or Utilities and if it's not 
there anymore, you can easily add a new menu item to launch it.

If you looked for the applet itself, I'm not sure it has been ported to 
plasma... maybe you can take a look into kde-apps¹ and search for a 
plasmoid that performs the same task.

Does KDE 4.5 have a root Xterm?

If it does I cannot find it.

In KDE 3.5 the panel kicker has an applet called "Terminal Sessions".
Clicking on it provided a choice of Xterms to open, including one for
root which required the root password to open.  I can't find the
equivalent in KDE 4.5.  Is there one?
