If the implementation is coded seperate from the interface it should be a
simple matter of, do you run command line, or do you bring up the GUI?
Some people have made some very good points about X being insecure, but
that if its easier to use more people will. Personaly I think that if you
dont know enough to secure your own system, you need to consider the cost
of hiring a security expert as part of the cost of doing business on the
internet.
