Bug Description

I saw this news (http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Debian-Non-Root-X) which say Debian finally can run with X.org without setuid binaries enabled. Is possible to do the same with Ubuntu for the next release?

I saw a X rootless was being developed since 2010. There is any news about this? I'm running Zesty and still executes as root.

you need something else than lightdm for that, like gdm

the xserver side is implemented and available
