Thanks for your long post. That is really scary! I will still try to get Skype constrained with apparmor. At least I will know that it will not siphon the data through the file interface.

I am wondering if Wayland will be more secure by design. I hope, since it is highly awaited as something that will save us from X11.

Denying applications the ability to send faked input events is one of the design goals of Wayland. This makes some things more difficult, e.g. virtual keyboards.
