Are you asking me whether 3FS works in X, or telling me that it does
not?  Back in my Mandrake days, it *would* work from X.

Both at the console and within X, 3FS does not work for me.

  $ cat /etc/shutdown.allow
  root
  me

Also back in my Mandrake days, 3FS would work even when no one
was logged in.
