Thanks, applied in:
http://xpra.org/trac/changeset/11009
If anyone knows of other distros using other unusual paths, please
forward them.

Are you sure this is needed? Is your Xorg a wrapper? Is it suid?
All the ones I tested mention:
$ /usr/libexec/Xorg -h |& grep -A 1 -i configdir
-configdir dir         specify a configuration directory, relative to the
                       xorg.conf.d search path, only root can use absolute

Using an absolute path as a non-root user doesn't seem to break anything
on the few distros I tested, but there's always a risk.

I was hoping this would also fix the same error that Ubuntu is having
("Cannot open /dev/tty0"), but it made no difference there.
And I have no arch linux to test on.
