Also, NAK in its current form, anyway: you'll have to check the real uid
against the euid.  Noting that the X server is often suid root, allowing
unprivileged users to force it to execute arbitrary code seems like a
fairly poor choice.  Some of the other options, such as -moduledir,
already do this.

Cheers,
Daniel
