Subject: [PATCH] Fedora hack: Make the suid-root wrapper start the server
 with root rights

Do NOT upstream.

Since most display managers are not ready yet to start Xorg in way which will
keep it working without root-rights, see:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/XorgWithoutRootRights

Just keep starting X as root for now, but do it through the wrapper, by
overriding the needs_root_rights = -1 (auto) default and setting it to 1.

We set a special environment variable when starting X in a way where root
rights are not needed (from gdm and startx) and keep the upstream
needs_root_rights = -1 (auto) default in that case.
