If X is a small program it's probably what I used to have with XFree86
version 3 (from Slackware), though in my case it was called Xwrap or
something like that.  It's to separate out the setuid/setgid parts of
the Xserver on the grounds that a small program is likely to have
fewer bugs.  I think I might have ported it to XFree86 version 4, as
well, when I upgraded (with binaries from XFree86), so my system would
have looked a little like that.
