-nolisten tcp as default for X?

Hi there,

In the interest of being another bit more "secure by default", how about running X with -nolisten tcp by default?

I've been doing that for more than a year now without any problems. There's also the fact that one can (and should) redirect remote X programs over ssh anyway.

Going a step further, perhaps the installer could ask if the person wants to run X as a remote display, after asking if [s]he wants to run X.

I could provide patches if they are mandatory in tech@, but the changes are trivial and I lack the time right now.

Regards,
