Well, I'd prefer the list of "people concerned about security of the
server" to include the ports wraith :-) It's not going to help us if
theres another vulnerability discovered in X 4 which could have been
prevented by an xwrapper.
As for PAM, I suspect it would require an understanding of the access and
authentication mechanisms in X, which I don't have.
