I referred to the typical security bugs getting found and fixed all the
time.  If you compare Red Hat security advisories for their EL5 vs. EL6
kernels for the recent few years, you'll find that there were fewer
relevant high severity bugs in EL5 than in EL6 kernels found and fixed
during this time period.

Sounds like a solution to a different problem. :-)  In fact, doesn't it
end up talking X protocol to an X server over at best a Unix domain
socket on the local end anyway?
