I used Gobo-014 with KDE and Konsole before, and I recall that when we
were compiling recipes in the terminal as a user, the sistem would ask
for root pass, and once inserted it would not ask for it until it
finished the issued command line.

In Gobo-015 with  Enlightenment and Terminology, when I am compiling
as a user, it also asks for root pass, but then it asks for the root
pass some time over again, before finishing the issued command.
This causes a problem, since most times i go and do something else,
not just staring at the lines fly-by, and when I get back to
Terminology, I see that it required root pass several times. Even if I
insert the pass, the compile fails with something like 'no permission
access to chroot', and I have to start over again, so that's annoying
:p

For example, to 'Compile EFL 1.15.1', I have to insert root pass at
the beginning, and again at almost the finish. If inserted fast enough
at the first time it asks, it goes well, but that requires me to sit
here and babysit it.
I shrinked the Terminology window to be 5 to 10 lines tall, and half
screen width, then went to the top border and right-click to select
'always on top'. That sexy option worked ;) I could browse Firefox and
still keep an eye on the fly-by terminal text, to insert the pass as
soon as it was required.

I know I can just type 'Su' and be done with it, as it will not ask
anything more for all commands, but besides security reasons, it
creates all files as root-owned, and that causes some other small
issues.

How can I make the terminal not ask for the pass again, at least until
it finishes the issued command, like it did in Gobo-014?
