Subject: [PATCH] Fedora hack: Make the suid-root wrapper always 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. This
allows people who want to test Xorg without root rights to create a
/etc/X11/Xwrapper.config file with:

needs_root_rights = auto

In there to test XorgWithoutRootRights without breaking people's setups due
to non ready display-managers.
