Hm.  Are you saying that other X-servers offer some alternative
kind of connection?  I thought that this was basically the norm 
with X-software.  It's all in the clear. 

Someone mentioned that this one particular server was not secure, 
so I was just wondering what the actual difference was between 
this server and other X-servers for Windows.  Just curious.  :)

I know that you can run an X connection over an ssh pipe,
What other ways are there to encrypt an X connection? 
Do any X-servers for MS-Windows encrypt the connection?
I've never heard of any that do this. 

Again, just wondering.  This is new to me.  :)
