- Add runtime option to start X under root instead of regular user.
  Necessary if no DRI drivers are present. (bnc#1075805)
  * gdm-add-runtime-option-to-disable-starting-X-server-as-u.patch
  * Updated X11-displaymanager-gdm to set the
    GDM_DISABLE_USER_DISPLAY_SERVER variable when needed.

GDM can currently start X server both ways - as regular user or as
root, unfortunately the only way to switch it is using a compilation
option. We need to run X as root in some cases, but want to keep the
increased security of running it under regular user in most cases.
This patch adds the ability to switch it using environmental
variable.
