Do they work without modification?My understanding is that such DMs, like lightdm, fork X as root anyway, so there's no implication here, regardless if you have -elogind or +elogind on xorg-server. Even more, you can have -suid -elogind -systemd on xorg-server for lightdm and it will work, as again, it starts as root. The relation between xorg-server and elogind is that pam_elogind.so provides user upon login with variables like $XDG_VTNR, that Xorg then uses, when you start X as user, to start X on the very same virtual terminal that one logged in, and then, elogind (started via dbus or manually) pass the SETMASTER ioctl. -- Piotr.
