Any comments on the security of using X in OpenBSD would be much appreciated, 
when running X with machdep.allowaperture=0 , or higher.

This is with background of the general buzz that X is terribly unsecure and 
anyone security-minded not even should touch it with a stick, e.g. a userland X 
program could root the system, a userland X program can tap into keypresses and 
do any UI manipulations to any other X program, X's code base is so bloated 
it's obvious it's unsecure - actually what about it, with Xorg on OpenBSD in 
particular?

How much damage can a bug/break/exploit in an X program cause to the user, the 
system, and other X programs?

Is Xorg bloated?
