I do want to run an XDMCP server and I want xauthority set up properly on the local console. Both of these rule out simple startx or 'su user -c "X..."'.

I'm not sure I understand. You have a thin client using XDCMP login against a server, and you want it to log in automatically? Why is XDMCMP required then?
