I agree, dont disable it as X is not the most stable of beasts and it is
neccessary to escape every now and again.  I think this only effects
those who do a startx from a console, and not those logging in via gdm
etc.  It is arguable that startx from a console can be viewed as unsafe
anyway as how do you lock the original console - which is the root cause
here?
