Does this really happen? Wouldn't it be better to fix XSCE so that
the DHCP server is "not authoritative"?
dhcpd.conf(5) on a system here says
" The authoritative statement
authoritative;
not authoritative;
The DHCP server will normally assume that the configuration informa‐
tion about a given network segment is not known to be correct and is
not authoritative. This is so that if a naive user installs a DHCP
server not fully understanding how to configure it, it does not send
spurious DHCPNAK messages to clients that have obtained addresses
from a legitimate DHCP server on the network."
