Hello,

that are definetly some approaches I wasn't aware of!

Actually, the untrusted xauthority was what I was looking for. Except of course what 
you've already pointed out: many applications do not support untrusted xauths or do 
not run as expected. Even xeyes cannot set its transparent background.

I believe in security through simplicity. That's what I like about vserver: It's 
simple; except the handling of the notorious loopback-device, of course.

But running applications under Xnest or Xvnc seems to add a little overhead. 
ssh-programmers also thought about using Xnest to ensure X11-forwarning security, but 
finally said Xnest was too insecure and not simple enough for the average user.

Thanks,
gt
