I did use to have a root window constantly open and "Ctrl-a r" is still opening a 'sudo -i' window in tmux.
The trouble with that is that I would tend to use the root console for non-root things. Besides, it's annoying to 'cd' in the non-root terminal in some deep directory structure only to find out you need root permissions to do what you actually needed to do when you got there. With sudo I'm incentivized to use non-root as much as possible, even if only because I'm too lazy to switch terminals or type 4 letters and a space ;) Kind regards, Andrei -- http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser
