I'd like to switch the server so that -nolisten tcp is the default; I don't see much sense in having it listen to even 127.0.0.1. But, if you wanted to make the list of IP addresses that the server bound to configurable, that seems like a good idea. ssh -X -C should be the only way to talk to an X server over the network, at least for now. If we find a better way in the future, we might revisit this. Patches to implement any such changes would be gratefully accepted to the fd.o X server tree. The wiki has anti-defacement "security"; please ask most anyone on #freedesktop to be added to the list of accounts with wiki write access. -keith
