problems which affect mozilla, gaim and tuxracer can affect "server" 
applications as well. if it's a grsecurity bug then it should be fixed, 
"desktop" applications are no different than anything else. ELF 
executables are ELF executables, period. grsecurity should handle them 
all. if it can't, then it's a bug in grsecurity that should be fixed.
