To be accurate, it works now, but will be disabled in the future. A
full explanation can be had here:
http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2005/tn2083.html#SECWINDOWSERVER
Basically, it boils down to this: the window server advertises a
service. But it also advertises a "global window server service" that
apps running as both root and the current console user can connect to.
This global service is going away, which means that apps running as
root will no longer be able to put up GUI.
