1. Learn Unix. It's slow. I'm getting there and so will you.
2. su
3. There's a command (for the life of me I can't remember it,
but a *real* expert will) that, along with the commands
su
export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
will allow you to run X apps from root, even when u have done
startx from a non-root acct.
