Root Privelages

[sschroeder]

Is there any way to gain root access in GNOME to do things that require root authenication (moving files for example to the /usr/ folder, without:
	su - sudo su -

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?
