Sure. For gnome-shell processes after login, I see:
root@redacted:/home/redacted# ps -elf | grep gnome-shell
0 S redacted 5868 823 4 80 0 - 1040028 poll_s 12:26 ? 00:00:02 /usr/bin/gnome-shell

That's just one process running as the user who logged in.

And for xrandr:
root@redacted:/home/redacted# env DISPLAY=:0 xrandr
No protocol specified
Can't open display :0

root@redacted:/home/redacted# env XAUTHORITY=/var/run/lightdm/root/:0 DISPLAY=:0 xrandr
