I can picture lots of reasons. 
1) evil user launches an alternate login screen on xclient
   and steals users login information;
2) evil user launches hidden window that monitors user;
3) evil user launches install window, that steals users login
   and then proceeds to steal/alter/corrupt/destroy user's files;
4) evil remote user launches disgusting site on user's desktop;
