That would make the workstation - which would be running the X server -
a quite interesting target. Not that good an idea, I think.
Then again, don't overestimate the danger of X either - it's certainly
an interesting way of breaking into a system, and might be dangerous
given the proper set of circumstances, but for many systems more
conventional attacks (like weak passwords+sshd) are more deserving of
our worries.
