You could implement an elegant solution in userspace with a display server in a microkernel OS. Or you can do it in userspace with a monolithic kernel as well, but with no integration with other parts of the OS, and it's yet another reason why the program needs to be suid root...
In my opinion, given this context, moving that stuff into the kernel makes plenty of sense.
