What I usually do is log in as a normal user, startx, su to root in my
xterm window, and open root's xterm with -C option.  This way, I get
very little message on the console and I can do whatever as root.

But when I compile a kernel, I become another normal user, compile a
kernel, then do "sudo cp netbsd /netbsd-blah".  I keep the entire
source tree owned by that user.

Ok, it's not fun playing game while compiling a kernel, I admit... ;-)
