You can work around by smart .xsession or alike which would start clog in
an xterm. When you play with HOME value, you can have to use explicit
XAUTHORITY environment variable, if your display manager does not set it.

Still I'd go for a Kerberos realm. It solves in any case the distributed
login authentication task, which you have to accomplish, whether you have
Coda or not.
