Perhaps starting X from init would be good idea?

For example:

init opens aperture device (or even physical memory) (that could be opened
only from init or opened only once) and starts X passing the descriptor.
Of course X should have immutable flag and ptracing/other memory
access should be prevented somehow.

Would that solve the problem? (Of course we would have to assume
that X is secure in itself)
