works

loses color & fonts settings, but is a login shell 
(that means, it sources my /root/.profile - which includes .alias and .bashrc; 
meaning it has my configured root prompt and aliases andf whatever else.)

nope

gksu "roxterm -e /bin/sh" works but is no login shell

(has default login prompt and no aliases etc)

I recommend to chose the login shell, because the only users who ever would 
have configured anything else than gnome-terminal are linux freaks, and a freak 
certainly has a freaky root prompt and greeting and alias commands ... and uses 
gcmd instead of i-forgot-the-name :)
