So, just executing root without a termional makes no sense what so ever. As a matter of fact, the executable ROOT.EXE on Windoze also needs a terminal (or command prompt if you will), but in that case, the exectable is somehow linked to the usual Windoze terminal. So, the answer to your question is, supposing you use something like KDE or Gnome, you should create a .kdelnk (in case of KDE) or .desktop (in casee of Gnome) file that executes the root exectable in a xterm (or similar). The command line could be something like: xterm -ls -sb -sl 1000 -T ROOT -e root & Hope that helps.
