That's right. Log in as your normal user, open up your terminal of
choice and type su -m at the prompt. It'll ask for your root
password. Once you've done that, type the command name for the
program you need to run as root. Hit ctrl-d or type exit or logout to
end that root session when you don't need the privlege anymore. I say
need because you shouldn't ever want to run something as root, it's a
last resort.
