I have not followed this thread so my comments may be wrong and unfounded, 
however,!

I belive from what i have read that you are using "sawfish", and that a user 
cannot start X, i use slackware here and sawfish does not use pex5.so or 
xie.so, if one uses 'ldd' one see's which libs are needed.

pa3gcu@unix:~$ ldd /opt/gnome/bin/sawfish
        librep.so.9 => /opt/gnome/lib/librep.so.9 (0x40017000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x4006e000)
        libgmp.so.3 => /usr/lib/libgmp.so.3 (0x40072000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x40093000)
        libImlib.so.1 => /usr/lib/libImlib.so.1 (0x400b5000)
        libjpeg.so.62 => /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62 (0x400e0000)
        libtiff.so.3 => /usr/lib/libtiff.so.3 (0x40100000)
        libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x4013f000)

        libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6 (0x4018e000)
        libICE.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6 (0x40197000)
        libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x401ad000)
        libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x40286000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4029b000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)

Thats the list i get, now if your swafish uses pex5.so and xie.so could it be 
that a program started by sawfish uses them.????
If so then the "user" may need special privs on that particular program.

As i said i am possably out of line for answering to a thread which i have 
not followed, however it may point somewhere.
