Is there any way to gain root access in GNOME to do things that require

Doing that gets annoying, since I have to do that, go to something that
prompts for the root password, type the root password AGAIN, and to boot,
I can't choose when I want the authentication to expire, it just goes
away, making copying a large number of files very difficult. In Fedora 9
you could log on as root (which I understand why they took it away, but
you could choose to keep root authentication), is there a way to anymore?
Is there some problem in simply running 'su' and getting a root shell?
poc
Remove "user != root quiet" in /etc/pam.d/gdm
And you have a root login from GDM
Does this work for you? I tried that and nothing changed.. still no root
login.
