I mean here - either XTerminal, Rxvt or Bash. In either one of the X-shells, i can do "sudo " + <command>.
But when trying to simply enter "su -", it automatically loads another
X-system session for SU. I need to do ctrl+c to exit this session.
And I generally don't need the full X-system for su. Just the command-line.
If I will want another X-system session at SU i'll do "startx"!
So how can I enter SU without automatic load of another X-system?

sudo suor select from main menu
Xshells->Root Access
By adding the "-" you are telling the shell to execute the .bash_profile which will start another X session.
You don't need the "-"

"su -" led me automatically to he home directory of Root, but it’s really not that important, just bad manner …
Thanks
