Since it is quiet common for people to separate different types of usage into different accounts (ex. I have one account for non-programming stuff and an other one for programming and normally login into my non-programming account and sudo over to the programming one to work on GUI apps). Thus if it is not a solved problem this is a major show stopper and as if obvious from the above command sequence a remote desktop client (regardless of protocol) will not cut it. > Oh, and is XWayland still a thing?
