Panel-Launcher for a Root-Terminal

Another not-so-trivial problem with a beautifully simple solution within half an hour. First I created a panel launcher and started hacking its Command Line.
sudo gnome-terminal
Wrong. Nothing happens.
gnome-terminal -e su
Looks better, a terminal-window appears, but disappears again after entering the password. Should have remembered. If a command is specified, bash does not become interactive, closes when the command is completed.
sudo bash
That’s it, baby!
