I've got to admit that's the first thing I thought as well... why can't I specify a group? "man Xwrapper.config" (dpkg-reconfigure x11-common is simply writing to file /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config) doesn't really provide any further information other than that root, console or anybody *really* are the only options, and other once-allowable edits seem to have been removed as well - you used to be able to provide a nice value to the X server from within this file, for instance. This is one of those cases where I'm just going to shrug my shoulders and presume that the Debian devs know what they're doing - they don't usually let me down.
