* Josh Bressers:
What I am wondering though, are there other files the X server creates that could be an issue for this? I'm not aware of any, but I'm also not an expert by any stretch of the imagination. Am I missing something else?
Doesn't the X server run binary plugins from various sources? So we really don't know what's going on in the process, and we should fix this as a conservative measure (in Debian's terms, in a point release, not through the ordinary security process).
