What happens when X crashes?  We *have* to restore the firewall in this
case.  I *think* we can catch this case using SEH - but we can't compile
using gcc then...

Maybe we need a wrapper script when runs "disable firewall", "run X",
"enable firewall".  Works well (until the use kills the wrapper script...)
