  um, i open a terminal window in one of my workspaces
and su to root and leave it there.  when i need root
access to do something i click on that workspace and
there it is ready to go.

  to get back to regular user me again i just click
on other workspace i was on before or whatever else
i want to do.

  what is hard about that?

  when i'm done working for the day i make sure all
my programs have things saved that need to be saved
and then use the root terminal to shutdown from
the command line.  next time i boot up i do have to
sign in as root again, but that isn't a major problem
to me.
