Clicking the button to become root works well enough, but it seems it
could be convenient to make it a toggle button, allowing one to go back
and forth between user and root instead. Making the button a standard
toggle button (with a gray highlight when selected) would work if we
renamed it to "Run as root" instead. Alternatively, we could switch the
icon to the '$_' prompt when we're root, and adjust the palette text
accordingly.
