Sorry this summary is incomplete as of now, I hope to update
it and thank those who helped. Here is what I know so far regarding
the removal of the setuid bit from the following:
xterm,dxterm
Known for sure: wtmp,utmp not updated, ie no record
of login.
Suspected (I'll check on theis): users can't update
settings.
dxconsole
Known: messages don't appear in dxconsole window.
Suspect: They appear in their xterms.
dxpause
Suspect: unusable by root.
I'm going to also experiment with wrappers, expect some answers
in a week (when Im not so busy).
