Under banned I mean banned by default. By default root and other users can't
access active wayland desktop.

Ok. I've added my restricted users to the same group and now able to run
programs under their profiles on wayland display natively. Chrome and firefox
weren't ported to wayland yet but in the nearest future they should run under
it.

It seems that root is banned explicitly otherwise it will be able to do so
already. Millions of users use xhost +si:... as an odd but default step of
installation procedure, and it really makes their systems insecure. This
caprice to limit Gtk from running under root doesn't make world safer but on
contrary led to the very opposite result, but this is the subject of the other
bug reports so I am out of here.
