Keyboard sniffing is possible on Linux and just about any OS if
it is compromised at root. Linux machines and client applications
aren't immune from these exploits by any stretch of imagination
(witness the recent Apache exploit). And as Linux gains popularity as
a client OS, it will become as big a target as Windows. I'm sure
there's quite a few big exploits in Mozilla, KDE, etc. that haven't
been found yet.=20

Don't feel too safe, Johan.
