A trusted X11 client will bypass the security controls specified in the X11
Security Extension Specification (see

want to enable this unless you have to. Notice that "trusted forwarding"
trusts the users to all be good guys.
Is there a way to describe it in more than 2 words but less than 18
pages? The main point seems to be that almost nothing works if your
forwarding isn't trusted. But shouldn't being able to log in via ssh
mean that you are trusted?
