Your mail didn't make much sense, but this part caught my eye.  The X
server is suid root for one, and secondly, if it comes down uncleanly,
on most all hardware, attempting to start it again will land you in IERR
land.

'User' in this case meaning consumer, not end user.

Looking forward to the separated X server,
