Tcl/Tk `send' horror



Hi.

I've found that if somebody on the network manages to steal your .Xauthority 
file he/she can do ANYTHING on your behalf through Tcl/Tk `send' mechanism 
(assuming you are running ANY Tcl/Tk application ). Is some better
authentication for X ? As I understand XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 and Kerberos are
only for US and Canada.  

Thank you

Boris
