I'm a n00b and here's how I do this because I don't like KDE at all,and
don't have it installed...

I open up an E-term and type 
su -c "whatever command"
put  in the password and it runs that command and then exit's su.

of course, there are some programs  in my menu that require root
privileges, but when i select them, it prompts me for the root
password.  Not sure if it's using the gnome base framework for this, or
Xwindows, but i stick in the root password and that application  runs.
