That "security" is useless on a Desktop where you run all programs as the same user. If you want a platform to run locked down "apps" that's fine, just don't expect others to be happy with the cost of that "security" when it provides no benefit for them.

Exactly. Also, XTerm has a secure mode where the keyboard input is locked and no application can read from it ever.
