If you really mean UID vs EUID as Linus mentioned, I suppose I could
learn to login as !root, and set KDE up to always give me root shells.

With a heavily reniced X (perfectly fine), that should indeed solve my
daily usage pattern nicely (always need godmode for shells, but not for
mozilla and ilk. 50/50 split automatic without renice of entire gui)
