That's a good idea, but I'll mention what I do -- I may have started before sudo existed (or, at least, before I knew about it). I use kde and keep several konsole (terminals) open, at on one, I open it as root and set the background to be a different color than the non-root konsole (a shade of yello). (Once you pick a color for the background (or any of variety of other user preferences), you can save those so, for example, every time I open a konsole as root, it gets those preferences.
