Hey there! I'd like to ask how to, as my regular user, create a dedicated x server for an application to live in.
I've tried

Code:

X :1 -ac -terminate &
sleep 2
DISPLAY=:1 <application>

but the problem is that my regular user isn't authorized to run the X server, so it gets aborted. I've read that you can change in the Xwrapper so that everyone is allowed to start the X server, but that's a serious security flaw, right? Is there a way to give authorization over the X server to only my user?
