if you want to do the alias option, you do it as a normal user, not as root.

My having entered that code as root earlier -- do you foresee that causing me any problems? Do I need to undo what I did there?

nope, no problems at all.. you can just run sudo gainroot as root... which won't hurt anything. Pointless but won't hurt anything.
If you want to remove it all the same, become root and edit
~/.profile
The very last line should be the alias you added.. just remove it.

2 methods to make a shortcut so you dont have to type it all (sudo gainroot) in always
Go into xTerminal.
Select main Menu -> Tools -> Settings
Click on Toolbar Shortcut
Add (New) a new shortcut
Title = Sudo (or whatever you want to name it)
Value = s . u . d . o . KP_Space . g . a . i . n . r . o . o . t . KP_Enter
The discussion on this and the above command to go into the shortcut command line is as per this thread
(Note : you dont need any additional software for this)
If you want a Menu in the side bar to lauch xterm and go into su mode at the same time, then install "Personal Menu" application.
You can then add custom commands to start any app you want from the sidebar itself. Pretty customizable app.
You can see my personal menu with the item X Terminal SUDO for launching from sidebar (method 2), as well as in the background the X Terminal itself with the toolbar shortcut SUDO added as explained in method 1.

The "#!/bin/sh" is just to tell people who are view the script it is a bash script , I grow up using DOS so the few scripts I write are more composed like batch {.bat} then Bash {.sh}.
The alias also works but I'm just more used to using scripts which I have cloned on some OS I use daily.
Any to answer your question, yes you do have to install "BecomeRoot" first, My script just makes it easier to type :)

Also I thought #!/bin/sh was meant to be the first line. Not sure on this one though.
Sorry for sounding like a knob in this post.

But the shebang really does need to be there, for properness.
very simple.
