And checking the links, which means I really have to read the whole thing through. I have read that you are using icewm. Here is my question. When I log in as user I would like to open with a key shortcut an xterm window where I immediately have a root shell without having to type su. I want to do this on my portable Linuxbox.
Security is of no concern here.
You've also expressed a preference that this be initiated by a key binding in your window manager, icewm. I should note that, while I am using icewm on a couple of systems, it is not of any particular preference. I tend to use whatever window manager a system defaults to, since my only use for a window manager is to launch an xterm . From there I launch my other programs in by simply typing their name at a command prompt. It turns out that icewm is a fairly lightweight window manager with reasonable keyboard controls.
