The You're right actually. Or might be. It is likely not spyware in itself, but it surely is spyware enabler. Like dbus and all of poetterware.
And about xorg. Everybody uses it, I do too. Minimalistically. Just enough to have, say Firefox and Wireshark, and a good *nix programs that need gui. But I'd think the possibilities for spying-required remote connections with xorg are nowhere near to what poetterware and associates offer. That's why they came into existance, after all. But you are free to disagree. -- Miroslav Rovis Zagreb, Croatia http://www.CroatiaFidelis.hr
