Noone has actually discussed the implications of the GUI running on the
firewall and what dangers it may represent, if any?

Have all the listening ports been plugged?

Do they export the GUI front end to client machines?

I won't pretend to be an experienced cracker, but I have heard 
that X has many security implications to consider - can anyone
expand on this?
