Actually, that *increases* security and protects your privacy even more.
While I'm not madly in love with OS X myself and usually boot into OS 9,
that's one aspect of X that I welcome with a sigh of, "Finally!" It's been a
standard on UNIX, well, basically forever. This way every user has
effectively their own computer; their own desktop, own preferences and
settings, access to *their* files but not to anyone else's unless they're
public, and they can't screw up the entire computer without a root password.
