It is a quite sensible idea.
The userspace X server SHOULD be running under a non-root user, with
appropriate fine-grained privs granted to it.
"I need root to do graphics" is a myopic, antiquated view of the world.
Did I say the X server? There are policy decisions that are root only
also authorisation of processes to render etc..
I'm not sure we can punt all that in-kernel.
