Huh? You don't want to allow SSH logins as root and yet you want to run that huge cruft of X11 code as root? I don't understand.

(BTW, the problem of running X11 apps as root after 'su' has nothing whatsoever to do with SSH or protocol tunnels -- it's a fundamental issue with how X11 authentication and authorisation work. SSH just forces the issue by making you actually use some minimal form of X11 authentication.)
