There is native X11 support in slurm but after testing it and reading
the list archives, I decided it wasn't reliable enough to use in
production and reverted to using the spank plugin which does work
reliably.

Are you using rocks?  I can send some instructions for installing the
X11 spank plugin on rocks if you're interested.
