How do you know that? I thought gksu was used for that. Try:

gksu gnome-terminal

That yields:

** (gnome-terminal:14228): WARNING **: Failed to connect to the
session manager: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the
authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based
authentication failed

Failed to contact the GConf daemon; exiting.

Which, I suppose, is slightly more informative. But the fact remains
that Root Terminal in the Accessories menu is, for some reason,
disabled. (This is on a fully up-to-date, amd64, testing system.)
