How can I make it so that I can run the X Server using another user account?
If you're talking about logging in as user, then running an X client as
root, all you have to do is (in an xterm)
$xhost +localhost
$su -
password
#X_client_you_want_to_run_as_root
If you're asking how to run X as a user because it won't let you, you need
to reconfigure xserver-common.
#dpkg-reconfigure xserver-common
I'd suggest Console Users Only as a pretty good standard answer if you
don't know any better.
If you can run it as user A and you want to be able to run it as user B,
unless user A is a sudoer (which you're back to the second case), there is
no reason on Earth that user B can't run X under the same circumstances as
A already.
