Do you mean 'Support non-root X'? if so some DM's still don't support
it.

As far as I know we don't force non-rootless X.
For the giggles I tried the Cinnamon spin. Unless something changes
after installing the Nvidia drivers, X. Org is running as root unlike
Gnome Fedora.
I couldn't actually install the drivers because the update GUI in the
cinnamon spin is broken and/or the repo/update servers are down. Again.
Also, who is maintaining the cinnamon spin? Do they by chance speak
Spanish as their primary language?
