x wrapper

hi, i installed suse's X 4.0. it does not start up for regular users because it requires root. in the error message while starting up it mentioned a wrapper for startup. i wrote one that is only one line: execv ("/usr/bin/X11/startx", NULL); and set it uid root. also, i unset the startx() function from the /etc/profile. is that the way one supposed to run X4.0? or is it at least secure? thanks, -alexm
