   I just noticed, in my openSUSE Leap 15.6, that in the menu for "System"   
   there is a "super user terminal". This one has the icon in the panel in   
   red. It is Konsole, and the prompt (not the background), is in red.   
      
      
      Terminal - Super User Mode   
      konsole --profile "Root Shell"   
      
   I am on XFCE, though. In XFCE, when I do "su -", the prompt is also in   
   red. So I do not know what that root shell profile may do, aside from   
   setting the red icon.
