Currently X servers are run as root means a large complex process has access to services it might not need (i.e. potential security and stability problems). It would be nice to run each X server as either an unprivileged user or in the session they are being used in. Logind provides a system for sharing access to the display and input devices so this can be done - this seems like the most likely implementation of non-root X.
