Your original diagram shows an x "client" connecting to an X server on one
machine, which talks to an X server on another system, which then
communicates with the input (keyboards mice) and output (display).

This is not how X works.

The x "client" talks to an x "server" running on the location where the
keyboard and mouse are located. There is only one "x server" in a
traditional arrangemnt A program which wishes to open a graphical interface
links against the X libraries, but does not communicate with any other
processes on its local machine in order to reache the display.

Red Hat White Paper: Using an Open Source Framework to Catch the Bad Guy

Built-in forensics, incident response, and security with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6

Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
