I'd like to avoid such things. This way, any X11 client attached to the
session can read the root password. That's true for the "su" in a
terminal too, though.

However, that's not the key point. If we want to avoid such things to
lock the session startup, why not register them with a very low
priority ? There could even be a delay of a few seconds before the
password window appears, in this case only.
