I do not think it is a problem really, and for me the impostant thing is not just running local X apps in Jolla, rather the ability to have X forwarding work, that is paramount.

For example, to get VPNC connectivity I run a token generator on my server. The generator works in a java midp emulator that runs the application from RSA.
This application is only available as a legacy X application, so if I want to enable VPN in my jolla I need to connect to the token generator.
