Is your xterm binary setuid root? Have you _really_ tried other
applications?

I have no problems running X both as root and regular user. Just
installed lastest 4.0.2 packages from pool/, cp linux/XF86Config
hurd/XF86Config, edit XF86Config, settrans mouse and kbd, chmod +s
/X11R6/bin/X, edit /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config, export PATH and
LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Works great!
