And I'd rather not break the vast majority of existing users & configurations,
which suggests leaving Xorg suid and making the new one (Xother?) non-suid,
unless someone can figure out a clever way to make it work with a wrapper.
Perhaps ${libexecdir}/Xorg.suid & ${libexecdir}/Xorg and have /usr/bin/Xorg
be a non-suid wrapper that execs ${libexecdir}/Xorg.suid unless -config has
a path that's not allowed in the suid form, in which case it runs the
non-suid one instead?
