I don't think anything prevents a normal
user from running 'startx'.

Just to test, I just now shut down kdm on a
Debian box, logged in to a nothing-special
user account, and typed 'startx'.  Other than
the fact that widow-maker showed up<g>, it
started just fine.

How do your normal users start X and how
does the system respond?
