I'll note that X11 has practically no security and that windows can read contents from other windows, if you happen to be worried about that attack. Essentially, anything that is displayed can be read by anything.

You'd need some form of "X11 firewall" to be secure.



Untrusted SSH X-forwarding (via -X) is a start.
