Gord,
According to where SuSE keeps their files, you can edit the desktop icon
located in /usr/share/applications for that item to add a root login.
Just edit the icon's text by right clicking to open with an editor.
Zenwalk uses the above location, but I'm don't remember where SuSE puts
things for XFCE4. You can also, right click on the panel to add the
item there making it call for root login. Just use "gksu <program
name> to bring up the root password requestor. You could also use that
command from a shell while in XFCE4.
Hope that helps.
