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.
