>> Times my system was hacked via x or xeyes since I started using Linux in 95... zero Ummm right. The point wasn't that Xeyes is a security threat. It's that Xeyes is only possible because X is insecure by design, which is what allows the eyes to literally monitor what you're doing. Mouse, keystroke, screen grab. Hey go ahead and do your online banking with X. Just remember the real malware is headless, not literally displaying eyes to let you know it's watching.
