I'm not sure of any program that encrypts X traffic. Maybe someone
else knows more about this.

Just beware:
If you log into an X-terminal, and then do ssh to another host, the
communication between the terminal and the login host is not protected
by ssh. So your ssh password is transmitted in cleartext!
