Does this really happen?  Wouldn't it be better to fix XSCE so that
the DHCP server is "not authoritative"?

dhcpd.conf(5) on a system here says

"      The authoritative statement

         authoritative;

         not authoritative;

         The DHCP server will normally assume that the configuration  informa‐
         tion  about a given network segment is not known to be correct and is
         not authoritative.  This is so that if a naive user installs  a  DHCP
         server  not fully understanding how to configure it, it does not send
         spurious DHCPNAK messages to clients  that  have  obtained  addresses
         from a legitimate DHCP server on the network."
