If you're talking about X apps, then you can force any of them to run as root yet in your X session. For apps listed on the KDE menu, go to Settings > Configure Panel > Menus tab > Edit K Menu. Then select the app you want to run as root and edit the "Run as different user" box. For desktop shortcuts, right-click on the shortcut, select properties, then the execute tab, and edit it there. From a console, you could use the "sudo appname" command, but you'd need to edit /etc/sudoers probably. Not sure how KDE/Gnome does it internally. Easiest way is probably to just place a shortcut on your desktop.
