I am using Ubuntu Gutsy and I want to remove the warning - this session is runnng as a previledged user. How to disable this? I am not logging in as root but I would still like to know! I know this is a big security risk. But this can save time when I do want to login as root!

You just need to set a root password.

sudo passwd

After you change the root password, you can do things like "su -" and actually log in as root.
