I tried to build a Debian X server package with this patch.

I can run Xorg directly with these arguments but not through the X
suid wrapper Debian uses.

Still I cannot run X server with these arguments when I use su to log
in as root.

Since Debian and Ubuntu ship with root login disabled it disables
these arguments for root entirely which does not sound desirable.

Thanks
