What are the issues with XWindows and CLIP? Why is CLIP XWindow-less?

CLIP strives to be a minimal system suited to secure solutions and does not come with software not necessary for such systems (e.g., cross domain solutions).

Is there something inherently unsecure with the XWindow client/server
model?

Xorg manages interactions between programs running under X itself and is therefore an object manager (similar to how an RDBMS is an object manager that manages rows and tables).

There is work to extend SELinux controls to Xorg (XACE) but without using XACE and X SELinux policy you cannot meaningfully manage information flow between X applications uses SELinux.
