These two are fine.  I've attached my working patch for interfaces with optional parameters to support name filetrans.  I'm trying to decide (with CIL in mind) if we really want interfaces with optional parameters.

I would say no.  The application module is for all applications, not just X ones.  Possibly in the xserver_user_x_domain_template() it would make more sense.
