The sandbox binary on debian was patched out of the package, as "not being ready" in some way.

Interesting, I'd like to try that out and evaluate its security and usability. I can't find "sandbox" binary in Debian, is it perhaps under some other name or should I build it from source?
Although there was a feature (XACE) to make the X server more secure I do no think it ever worked well enough. I think the only good solution will be to use wayland once it is good enough. Its model isolates each process and is much better from a security pov from what I've been told so far.
Indeed. The only working models that I have seen are Qubes OS and just using xpra/vnc with virtual machine/another user.
