AFAIK, XCSECURITY are disabled on most (linux) Xorg packages, and on 
freebsd and cygwin too (just search xcsecurity/xsecurity on google).

I just tried some weeks ago to use ssh -X on a OpenBSD X11 server, and 
many applications just crashes with "bad access" or similar, as noted in 
this mail:
https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2008-11/msg00154.html

Of course it is still possible to use ssh -Y to connect to Xorg 
remotely, using the "trusted forwarding".

ciao,
I.
