A gtk+ theme engine is a piece of executable code (usually in C) that can live in the user's login directory, not root's. So you could write a gtk+ theme that (for example) captures keystrokes and saves them to a file. Note that most Gtk+ themes don't work this way, and even when they do, the theme engine is usually in a "trusted directory", e.g. under /usr/share somewhere. Investigate consolehelper, perhaps.
