Francois's script is 312 lines long. You are really smart ;-) I'm not used enough to the auth stuff to comment on the differences between your one-case 4-lines and sux. My understanding is that with sux you get the same behaviour that with su but with X auth. A new debian user who, previously used to 'xhost +' will be happy to use sux and slogin -X.
