If that were the case then EVERY distro (Including Gutsy) needs to be
changed.  Without this, the system creates /dev/dri/card0 with
crw-rw---- root root permissions, and the gui fails to display (it still
loads, just nothing appears on the screen).  Remote loging in and
running "export DISPLAY=:0 && xterm &" will launch an xterm session, but
it isn't visible.  The system still requires each application to
authenticate with the Xserver, so your argument isn't a valid issue.

The other way to fix this is to create /dev/dri/card0 following the
proper makedev configuration (group is changed to video), then adding
the default user to the video group, but the result is still the same.

It is a poor judge who cannot award a prize.
