I mean here - either XTerminal, Rxvt or Bash.

In either one of the X-shells, i can do "sudo " + <command>.

But when trying to simply enter "su -", it automatically loads another
X-system session for SU. I need to do ctrl+c to exit this session.

And I generally don't need the full X-system for su. Just the command-line.

If I will want another X-system session at SU i'll do "startx"!

So how can I enter SU without automatic load of another X-system?

sudo su
or select from main menu
Xshells->Root Access

By adding the "-" you are telling the shell to execute the .bash_profile which will start another X session.

You don't need the "-"
