Stop right there.

We have been discussing securing VNC connections to X11 desktops running
on virtual framebuffer devices. In other words: full shell access. Thus,
none of your points are immediately relevant to the discussion at hand.
They might be relevant to a discussion about access to private services
other than shell access but that's a different discussion.
