x11 and security? (also final cut)

[BabaG]

there are a couple of apps i'd like to run that require x11
(openoffice, gimp). an admin once cautioned me about x11 in
context of opening up security holes. is this something i
really need to worry about? if so, what do i need to do to
secure the operating environment when using x11?

secondarily, the main app i want to run is final cut pro.
does fcp run under x11? i'd like to run fcp along with gimp
and/or openoffice at the same time. that would seem to
require running fcp under x11. does that work, or would i
have to be switching between x11 and aqua all the time?

opinions please,
BabaG

X11 is an app. It has no greater privileges than any other app running on your account.
