X11 should not run as root or?



I tried the new Debian bookworm installer rc4 and i manually installed i3-wm.
I started i3 from tty with startx command as user.
to my surprise i found out that the xorg process is running as root.
that can't be intentional, can it?

I have fixed the problem by adding the following line in /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config 

needs_root_rights = no

After that xorg runs as user.
