- It is interesting to note that the window watching program
- I have a copy of does not work if you change your xterm to
- run in "Secure Keyboard" mode (Press control and left mouse
- in an xterm and select the top item). I always use this mode
- when typing in passwords, although I'm not sure whether it could
- be circumvented by a knowledgable hacker.
