    A launcher on the panel.

    commanding "xterm &" at the user prompt in a KDE terminal emulation brings
    up a terminal, with a prompt, which takes commands. (I use Gnome; but the
    KDE terminal, which is very hard on my aged eyeballs, does work.)

    There you're over my head, alas!

    Yes. I did, and tried "su test", then telling btth's kde terminal
    "gnome-terminal &". (I'll log out and back in in a minute)

    It flashed a message, and opened what looks like a gnome terminal, with a
    working prompt -- a btth prompt, *not* test's -- .

    Closing that, I found the message still on the kde terminal:
                       =====
    [test@localhost btth]$
    [gnome-terminal:15784): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to the
    session manager: Authentication Rejected, reason: None of the
    authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based
    authentication failed.
                      =====
    It did not give a new prompt at that point. I hit ^c. It displayed a blank
    line, then
                    =====
    [1]+ Done gnome-terminal
    [test@localhost btth]
                     =====
    I told it exit, and it gave me
                     =====
    exit
    [1]+ Done xterm
    and then my normal btth prompt

    Stay tuned. I'll log out, and back in as test.
