Although ugly, passwordless sudo limited to the needed command might
do the job. A solution in this class would need to be audited a bit,
though. Which would take as much time as finding a proper solution.
Speaking of a proper solution, iirc the Squeeze graphical Debian
Installer is based on XOrg; it probably has a way to solve this
problem.

Setting a password, although it can be useful or even needed, lowers
the security of the system. So I don't think there's strong
relationship you're suggesting between "technically advanced" and
"willing to setup sudo credentials". Yeah, I know, you were joking :)
